Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys found their guy under center in Nix: D-.

The phones were a trap the Cowboys kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.

Bo Nix is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. Spending an early pick on edge rusher with tight end open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. Bethune has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Jean-Baptiste at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick 11 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In No. 23 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In slot 27 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
No edge and no loss on Chris Braswell in the 50th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick53 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A premium they did not need to pay, T'Vondre Sweat a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick90 Rnd3 DJ James
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on DJ James. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in Round 4, Pick 24 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133 Rnd4 Brennan Jackson
A curious use of No. 133. Tight end needed the pick; an edge rusher in Brennan Jackson did not.
Pick174 Rnd5 James Williams
By-the-book stuff, James Williams at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Javontae Jean-Baptiste at pick 216 is the proof. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick233 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
A tidy little value on Trey Taylor in the 233rd pick, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick244 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
Tatum Bethune at the 244th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
