Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cowboys: B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jimmy Horn Jr., 122 picks early at slot 173. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

That Carter pick is the receipt they will wave around later. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, and a steal at that.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They will replay Jalon Walker at slot 44 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at the 76th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Somehow Barrett Carter was still sitting there in pick No. 148, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick168 Rnd5 Ty Hamilton
A wild overpay on Ty Hamilton in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick170 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
The board fumbled Tahj Brooks all the way to the 170th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. in the 173rd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Hancock at pick 186 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick209 Rnd6 Joey Slackman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joey Slackman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick248 Rnd7 KJ Jefferson
A real head-scratcher, KJ Jefferson in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
