Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jordan Whittington at No. 245 regardless, 26 picks early.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Simpson. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In No. 24 they get an enforcer at safety. Need was not the driver here.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A clean, defensible pick in slot 56 with a little surplus value in Jackson Powers-Johnson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Good price on Roman Wilson in pick No. 87, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They liked Cedric Gray enough to skip the value, taking him in the 124th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They will replay Jaylin Simpson at Round 5, Pick 38 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick212 Rnd6 David Ugwoegbu
They reached into another round for David Ugwoegbu, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jordan Whittington this early at the 245th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
