Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureC+
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Matthew Jones at No. 216, a reach of 34 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

That Coker pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the Round 1 slot they get a mismatch in the passing game, and a steal at that.
Pick23 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 23rd overall pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Xavier Worthy in pick 56. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick73 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
The board had T'Vondre Sweat higher than No. 73, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
A big swing on Cedric Gray at slot 87, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
They reached into another round for Matthew Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
Jalen Coker at Round 7, Pick 4 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick233 Rnd7 Daijun Edwards
By-the-book stuff, Daijun Edwards at the 233rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick244 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at slot 244 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
