Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedA- TradesB FutureB-
The Cowboys let Jones fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jarrian Jones, the No. 136 name on the board, in pick No. 174. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at pick 33 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Kool-Aid McKinstry in the 56th overall pick, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
No drama and no debate, Sedrick Van Pran went about where he belonged in slot 65. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
They will replay Xavier Worthy at Round 3, Pick 24 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
The board fumbled Jarrian Jones all the way to the 174th pick, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick216 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
They barely believed it either: Cornelius Johnson still on the board at No. 216. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick233 Rnd7 Curtis Jacobs
They robbed the room for Curtis Jacobs here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick244 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at the Round 7 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
