Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Cowboys answered their biggest question with Penix Jr.. Grade: D.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cowboys took Zion Logue at the Round 6 slot, roughly 70 spots before his name belonged. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They have staked the next five years on Michael Penix Jr., which is the only story that really matters here. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

Getting Penix Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In the 24th overall pick they get the face of the franchise, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
A quiet steal in No. 36: Brian Thomas Jr. for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick40 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick 40 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in pick No. 66 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in slot 67 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
They went early on Jonah Elliss in the 78th pick, and the value did not follow. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick87 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
A straight-up fair deal on Jalen McMillan at pick 100, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at the 104th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick138 Rnd5 Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad at No. 138 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
They reached a country mile for Jaylan Ford at pick No. 174, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Zion Logue
They talked themselves into Zion Logue at slot 216, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
