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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cowboys started one anyway for Braelon Allen, 64 picks ahead of schedule.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 56th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
They reached into another round for Braelon Allen, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick174 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in pick No. 174 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick212 Rnd6 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at pick 212 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick234 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at No. 234 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
They reached a country mile for Hayden Hatten at pick 245, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
