Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Frank Gore Jr. in Round 7, Pick 13, a good 35 spots before the room expected him. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Landing Dixon that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in Round 1, Pick 29 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick56 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the 56th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73 Rnd3 Austin Booker
Fair-plus on Austin Booker, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick87 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
They took Patrick Paul at par in pick 87, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
By-the-book stuff, Ty'Ron Hopper at pick No. 174 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick216 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Value with a capital V on Johnny Dixon in No. 216, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick233 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick244 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus in pick 244 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
