Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Rosemy-Jacksaint: B-.

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, the No. 198 name on the board, sitting there at slot 242 like a gift left on the doorstep. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. The Jefferson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In No. 24 they get protection for the quarterback, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at Round 2, Pick 24 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving in slot 87 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
The board had cheaper options than Jordan Jefferson at pick 173, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick213 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
No drama and no debate, Michael Barrett went about where he belonged in the 213th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick231 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Good price on Frank Gore Jr. in the Round 7 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Circle this one: Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at pick No. 242 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
