Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 233rd pick: the Cowboys steal Dixon and grade out a B.

The Cowboys did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Johnny Dixon fell into No. 233.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Every board in the league had Hopper lower, and that gap is the story.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In No. 24 they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
No edge and no loss on Zach Frazier in the 56th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Benson. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
A conviction pick on Ty'Ron Hopper at pick No. 174 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick216 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
They barely believed it either: Tahj Washington still on the board at the 216th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick233 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
You do not let a cornerback like Johnny Dixon reach pick 233 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Myles Harden
Circle this one: Myles Harden at slot 244 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
