Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent the Round 6 slot on Kenny Logan Jr., a name most had 38 spots down the list.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The McCaffrey value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In slot 27 they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at Round 2, Pick 24 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Fair-plus on Khyree Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
They jumped the gun on DeWayne Carter, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Luke McCaffrey at the Round 5 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick213 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
Kenny Logan Jr. in the 213th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick222 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
No drama and no debate, Rasheen Ali went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 2. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
This one needs a full-page explanation: Eyabi Okie-Anoma in slot 231, miles early. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick242 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at No. 242 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
