Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cowboys: B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Zion Logue at No. 244, a reach of 42 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

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.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 30 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at No. 57 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Malik Washington
They took Malik Washington at par in Round 3, Pick 24, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick130 Rnd4 Kalen King
A reach on Kalen King in the 130th overall pick; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
The board had cheaper options than Justin Eboigbe at the 134th pick, and it noticed. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
They reached into another round for Jaylan Ford, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick216 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Frank Gore Jr. a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick218 Rnd6 Myles Murphy
They paid sticker price for Myles Murphy in the 218th pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220 Rnd6 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick233 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
A real head-scratcher, Tyler Owens in the 233rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick244 Rnd7 Zion Logue
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zion Logue. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
