Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B-.

The Jackson Powers-Johnson pick is the one that will follow the Cowboys into the fall. They took him 28 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. That Beebe pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 24 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at pick No. 56 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick87 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cooper Beebe at the Round 3 slot is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A conviction pick on Cedric Gray at slot 124 that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
They reached into another round for Christian Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212 Rnd6 Myles Jones
They paid sticker price for Myles Jones in No. 212, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick245 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
They took Eric Gentry at par in pick 245, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
