Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureC-
Grand theft in the 174th pick: the Cowboys steal Simpson and grade out a D+.

The Cowboys lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

The Okie-Anoma reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Simpson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in slot 24 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
A quiet steal in pick No. 37: Tyler Guyton for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick56 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Payton Wilson at pick 56, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Trey Benson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trey Benson. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at No. 105 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Steal is underselling it; Jaylin Simpson at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick176 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at No. 176 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick215 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Julian Pearl at the 215th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
They let Sheridan Jones come to them and pounced at slot 233. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
They paid sticker price for Josh Proctor in Round 7, Pick 24, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick257 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
They reached a country mile for Eyabi Okie-Anoma at the 257th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
