Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Cowboys did enough to get by: C+.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cowboys did exactly that with Jahdae Barron in Round 6, Pick 16. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom. Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In No. 30 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the Round 2 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick93 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They took Zak Zinter at par in pick No. 93, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jahdae Barron
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jahdae Barron well ahead of where he belonged. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick206 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
A wild overpay on Kamal Hadden in Round 6, Pick 31, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at pick 212 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick251 Rnd7 Zion Nelson
They reached into another round for Zion Nelson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
