Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Cowboys turned the phones into found money: B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Cowboys fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

The Knight reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Benson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Adding Dax Hill by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick56 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Jackson Powers-Johnson. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick57 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at pick No. 57 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick80 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Javon Bullard in No. 80. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Trey Benson at the 87th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tyrice Knight
Value said wait; Tyrice Knight in slot 91 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A straight-up fair deal on Justin Eboigbe at the 124th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Christian Jones this early at pick 174. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick212 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
They took Kenny Logan Jr. at par in Round 6, Pick 37, which is nothing to complain about. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick245 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at the 245th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
