Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesD FutureA
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Jones Jr. from sliding. Grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Emery Jones Jr., the No. 128 name on the board, stolen at slot 172.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Good price on Tyleik Williams in Round 2, Pick 12, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart in pick No. 76 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jaylin Noel
They barely believed it either: Jaylin Noel still on the board at No. 140. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Circle this one: Brashard Smith at pick 150 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Steal is underselling it; Jeffrey Bassa at the 170th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
You do not let an offensive lineman like Emery Jones Jr. reach slot 172 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the 174th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick190 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Connor Colby in Round 6, Pick 12 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211 Rnd6 Karene Reid
Karene Reid at slot 211 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne in pick No. 249 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
