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

The tape said wait; the Cowboys did not. Zion Logue went at No. 226, a good 45 picks before the board was ready.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. The Jamaree Salyer deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the 37th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A conviction pick on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 56th overall pick that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Khyree Jackson in the Round 3 slot, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in slot 87 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick105 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
A tidy little value on Tykee Smith in No. 105, a step better than break-even. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick124 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A premium they did not need to pay, Justin Eboigbe a notch or two before his time. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick174 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
They jumped the gun on Curtis Jacobs, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick183 Rnd6 Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II in the 183rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick212 Rnd6 Akheem Mesidor
They reached into another round for Akheem Mesidor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick226 Rnd7 Zion Logue
A real head-scratcher, Zion Logue in slot 226 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick245 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Steele Chambers. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
