Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Simpson should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B.

When a board-topper like Jaylin Simpson slides to the Round 6 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They will need Jackson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Marvin Harrison Jr. in No. 24, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick56 Rnd2 Graham Barton
They robbed the room for Graham Barton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
A reasonable price with a little left over, MarShawn Lloyd in the 101st pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick141 Rnd5 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at slot 141 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick142 Rnd5 Caedan Wallace
Nothing to complain about; Caedan Wallace went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
They went early on Curtis Jacobs in pick No. 174, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Steal is underselling it; Jaylin Simpson at pick 216 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Eric Watts
Eric Watts in the Round 7 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick240 Rnd7 Julian Pearl
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Julian Pearl in the Round 7 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick244 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at No. 244 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
