Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cowboys: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cowboys started one anyway for KJ Jefferson, 82 picks ahead of schedule.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Tuten. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 12 they get a red-zone target to build around. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
A big swing on Dylan Fairchild at No. 76, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick150 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They reached a country mile for Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 150, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in the 170th pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick172 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II is a better player than the 172nd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick190 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
A real head-scratcher, Cam Jackson in Round 6, Pick 12 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the 211th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick249 Rnd7 KJ Jefferson
This one needs a full-page explanation: KJ Jefferson in pick 249, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
