Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Cowboys.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Hunter Nourzad; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 31 spots ahead at pick 128. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom. Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 24th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeremiah Trotter Jr.. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
They paid sticker price for Trey Benson in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick128 Rnd4 Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad at No. 128 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick134 Rnd4 Chau Smith-Wade
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 134 with a little surplus value in Chau Smith-Wade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at slot 174 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
They took Justin Rogers at par in Round 6, Pick 14, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace in pick No. 216 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Bub Means
They went early on Bub Means in pick 233, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick244 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
Donovan Jennings at the Round 7 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
