Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B.

The Cowboys let the board come to them and it handed over Payton Wilson in the 87th overall pick, comfortably the best value of their weekend. No fireworks, but a solid B.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Jones reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In pick 24 they get a sticky cover corner, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at pick No. 56 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
The board had Payton Wilson higher than No. 87, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at the 156th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Christian Jones
They talked themselves into Christian Jones at the 172nd overall pick, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Fair-plus on Roger Rosengarten, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jawhar Jordan at Round 6, Pick 37 is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
They paid sticker price for Xavier Thomas in the 245th overall pick, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
