Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Cowboys bet the future on Nix. The board says D+.

The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Javontae Jean-Baptiste, 43 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Everything downstream of Bo Nix depends on Bo Nix, and the building knows it.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Bullard pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 24th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu in the Round 1 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick26 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In pick No. 26 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 27th pick they get an island corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
They paid sticker price for Jonathon Brooks in No. 45, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick71 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Javon Bullard at pick 71. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick87 Rnd3 Malik Washington
Malik Washington at pick No. 87 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
Nothing to complain about; Christian Mahogany went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in the 110th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick125 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in the 125th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick135 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in pick 135 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
They talked themselves into Javontae Jean-Baptiste at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick216 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
A quiet steal in No. 216: Ryan Flournoy for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
Value said wait; Tyrice Knight in slot 233 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick244 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
They read the board right and Tylan Grable was the payoff at the Round 7 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
