Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Cowboys left with their quarterback, and a D+ to match.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jaylan Ford in the 180th pick, a good 35 spots before the room expected him. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Whatever Michael Penix Jr. becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They banked enough surplus on Mims to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a passer to set the clock by at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in Round 2, Pick 2 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick56 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Steal is underselling it; Amarius Mims at the 56th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zach Frazier in pick 64. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
They paid sticker price for Kingsley Suamataia in No. 68, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at pick No. 87 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick95 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
This one needs a full-page explanation: Braelon Allen in pick No. 95, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt in slot 128 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick133 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A reach on Tommy Eichenberg in Round 4, Pick 33; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137 Rnd5 Isaac Guerendo
A straight-up fair deal on Isaac Guerendo at pick 137, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at the 144th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174 Rnd5 Nelson Ceaser
No edge and no loss on Nelson Ceaser in No. 174; it is a wash and a sensible one. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylan Ford this early at the 180th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at slot 216 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
