Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Cowboys found their guy under center in McCarthy: D+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Zion Logue at pick No. 233, a reach of 53 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Whatever J.J. McCarthy becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and wide receiver is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
No edge and no loss on J.J. McCarthy in pick No. 24; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Morgan. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick56 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in slot 56 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at No. 68 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Benson at pick 87, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Nice patience on Khyree Jackson, who had no business lasting to the 103rd pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick137 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
No drama and no debate, Roger Rosengarten went about where he belonged in pick 137. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at Round 5, Pick 38 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Solomon Byrd
A big swing on Solomon Byrd at slot 216, well ahead of any board in the building. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick233 Rnd7 Zion Logue
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zion Logue well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
