Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesD- FutureB-
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the C+.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Cowboys did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Arnold. If Taylor III pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at pick No. 56 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 Junior Colson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Junior Colson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in Round 3, Pick 24 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
Value said wait; Javion Cohen in the 126th overall pick says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A straight-up fair deal on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at No. 145, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
No edge and no loss on Jordan Jefferson in the 174th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick189 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
Kenny Logan Jr. in slot 189 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick201 Rnd6 Austin Stogner
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Austin Stogner at pick 201 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick212 Rnd6 Daequan Hardy
No drama and no debate, Daequan Hardy went about where he belonged in No. 212. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick220 Rnd6 Donovan Jennings
Donovan Jennings at the 220th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick245 Rnd7 Demani Richardson
A tidy little value on Demani Richardson in Round 7, Pick 25, a step better than break-even. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
