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

The Cowboys bet big and early on Carson Steele, 71 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

However the rest shakes out, Nix at that price is a win they earned. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 24 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Bo Nix
They barely believed it either: Bo Nix still on the board at pick No. 56. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick87 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ben Sinnott this early at the Round 3 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
No edge and no loss on Dwight McGlothern in the 173rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick213 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Fair-plus on Nathaniel Watson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick231 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at No. 231 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick242 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Carson Steele at pick 242 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
