Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
The Cowboys worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The tape said wait; the Cowboys did not. Matthew Jones went at the 233rd pick, a good 32 picks before the board was ready. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. On value alone, Robinson makes the weekend a net positive. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 24 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Guyton in the 41st overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick56 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
They let Darius Robinson come to them and pounced at pick No. 56. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick87 Rnd3 Max Melton
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Max Melton for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith in No. 88 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick174 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Good price on Malik Mustapha in the 174th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick216 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
They read the board right and Ryan Flournoy was the payoff at pick 216. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick244 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They did well to land Edefuan Ulofoshio in No. 244, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
