Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
The Cowboys checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cowboys took Jermayne Lole at the Round 7 slot, roughly 59 spots before his name belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. James falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 30 they get a building block for the line at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T'Vondre Sweat. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87 Rnd3 D.J. James
D.J. James at No. 87 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88 Rnd3 Audric Estime
A reach on Audric Estime in the 88th pick; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick93 Rnd3 Luke McCaffrey
They reached a country mile for Luke McCaffrey at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at Round 4, Pick 24 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Isaiah Neyor
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Isaiah Neyor. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A tidy little value on Christian Jones in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick212 Rnd6 Myles Jones
Myles Jones at the 212th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jermayne Lole
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jermayne Lole in slot 245, miles early. A minor need, but a need all the same.
