Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B

More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cowboys would have aced it. Zion Logue at the Round 7 slot is 42 spots clear of where he belonged.

Jackson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Graham Barton
No edge and no loss on Graham Barton in pick 24; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick56 Rnd2 Junior Colson
A tidy little value on Junior Colson in the 56th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
They went early on Braelon Allen in Round 3, Pick 26, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick174 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
A premium they did not need to pay, Tanor Bortolini a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson at slot 216 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick220 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick233 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 233 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick244 Rnd7 Zion Logue
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zion Logue this early at No. 244. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick246 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
They reached a country mile for Eyabi Okie-Anoma at pick 246, and the board is aghast. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
