Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Worthy should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Xavier Worthy, the No. 42 name on the board, in pick 124. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II at the 56th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87 Rnd3 Kool-Aid McKinstry
They will replay Kool-Aid McKinstry at pick 87 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick124 Rnd4 Xavier Worthy
The board fumbled Xavier Worthy all the way to the 124th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaylen Wright at pick No. 174 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
They let Jordan Magee come to them and pounced at Round 6, Pick 37. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Nothing to complain about; Matthew Jones went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
