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

The Cowboys treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick 124 on Jaylan Ford a full 53 spots early. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Getting Jones where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A reach for Kingsley Suamataia in pick No. 36; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick56 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
A safety of that caliber at the 56th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick87 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in Round 3, Pick 24 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100 Rnd3 Dillon Johnson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dillon Johnson in pick 100, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick111 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in No. 111 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jaylan Ford
They talked themselves into Jaylan Ford at the 124th overall pick, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
You do not let a wide receiver like Ainias Smith reach the 147th overall pick and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Myles Jones
Myles Jones at pick No. 174 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick212 Rnd6 Isaiah Neyor
A straight-up fair deal on Isaiah Neyor at pick 212, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick245 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick256 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones at the 256th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
