Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in Round 7, Pick 13 lands the Cowboys a B, Dixon and all.

The Cowboys did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Johnny Dixon fell into No. 233.

The Jeffcoat pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
A tidy bit of business in the Round 1 slot, where Olumuyiwa Fashanu graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick56 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at the 56th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
By-the-book stuff, MarShawn Lloyd at pick No. 87 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
A reach for Curtis Jacobs in slot 174; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson at No. 216 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick233 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
Steal is underselling it; Johnny Dixon at Round 7, Pick 13 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick244 Rnd7 Trajan Jeffcoat
Value said wait; Trajan Jeffcoat in the 244th pick says they were not listening. It adds depth where they could use a little.
