Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it.

The Cowboys' one glaring miss is quarterback, a need they left exactly as they found it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

On value alone, Love makes the weekend a net positive. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 12th overall pick they get a three-down runner, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the 20th pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick112 Rnd4 Caden Curry
A tidy little value on Caden Curry in Round 4, Pick 12, a step better than break-even. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick150 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in the Round 5 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Nothing to complain about; Xavier Nwankpa went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick215 Rnd6 Tristan Leigh
By-the-book stuff, Tristan Leigh at pick 215 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick221 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant in No. 221 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Dijon Johnson
They took Dijon Johnson at par in pick No. 225, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
