Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The Cowboys clearly saw something nobody else did in Zion Logue, taking him 35 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Getting Jacobs where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

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
Pick8 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 8 they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In pick 24 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
They took Jonathon Brooks at par in pick No. 43, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
They did well to land Jermaine Burton in the 57th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick109 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
They will replay Kris Abrams-Draine at Round 4, Pick 9 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in the 126th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A clean, defensible pick in No. 130 with a little surplus value in Cedric Gray. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick173 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey slid further than he should have, and Round 5, Pick 37 is lovely value for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick190 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
Somehow Sione Vaki was still sitting there in pick No. 190, and they pounced on premier safety value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick213 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
They paid a round early for Javontae Jean-Baptiste in pick 213, more than the board wanted. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick231 Rnd7 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in slot 231 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick242 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
You do not let a running back like Frank Gore Jr. reach the 242nd pick and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick244 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Sheridan Jones at the Round 7 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Zion Logue
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zion Logue in the 255th overall pick, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
