Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cowboys a B.

Some picks age like wine; Tommy Eichenberg at No. 90 will need to, sitting 53 spots clear of his grade. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Legette pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the 27th overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside. A real need, handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at No. 56 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick87 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
A tidy bit of business in slot 87, where Xavier Legette graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Tommy Eichenberg
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tommy Eichenberg in Round 3, Pick 27, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick137 Rnd5 Christian Jones
No edge and no loss on Christian Jones in the 137th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones slid further than he should have, and pick 161 is lovely value for the cornerback. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick173 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Layden Robinson at the 173rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick213 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste in No. 213 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick231 Rnd7 Logan Lee
Logan Lee at the Round 7 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Trey Knox
Trey Knox at the 242nd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
