Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 3 slot lands the Cowboys a B, James and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: DJ James, the 87th pick, roughly 34 picks past where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 24th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in slot 56 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
They will replay Tyrone Tracy Jr. at Round 5, Pick 38 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at pick 216 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
A tidy little value on Frank Gore Jr. in the 233rd pick, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick244 Rnd7 Myles Harden
The board fumbled Myles Harden all the way to pick No. 244, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
