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

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jaylan Ford at pick No. 173 is 22 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. However the rest shakes out, Cooper Jr. at that price is a win they earned. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zach Frazier. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in No. 87 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaylan Ford. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick213 Rnd6 Myles Cole
They went early on Myles Cole in the 213th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick231 Rnd7 Logan Lee
A conviction pick on Logan Lee at pick 231 that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick242 Rnd7 Ryan Cooper Jr.
The board had Ryan Cooper Jr. higher than slot 242, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
