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

The Cowboys treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 231 on Zion Logue a full 59 spots early.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McCaffrey. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 24th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
The board had cheaper options than Patrick Paul at slot 58, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in the 87th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
They robbed the room for Jalen McMillan here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylan Ford well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick213 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
The board fumbled Luke McCaffrey all the way to pick 213, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick231 Rnd7 Zion Logue
They reached a country mile for Zion Logue at slot 231, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick242 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Circle this one: Daequan Hardy at pick 242 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
