Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA FutureB
The Cowboys won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent pick 221 on Jake Johnson, a name most had 56 spots down the list. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. With quarterback and interior defensive lineman unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them.

The Bolden steal is the beam this whole class leans on. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Dylan Stewart
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick21 Rnd1 KJ Bolden
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a ballhawk on the back end, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick99 Rnd3 Ashton Hampton
They paid up for Ashton Hampton at the 99th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112 Rnd4 Wendell Gregory
A want over a need in No. 112: Wendell Gregory adds an edge rusher while quarterback and interior defensive lineman keeps waiting.
Pick150 Rnd5 Christian Alliegro
Christian Alliegro at pick No. 150 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick177 Rnd5 T.J. Moore
A big swing on T.J. Moore at slot 177, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick215 Rnd6 Xavier Chaplin
They jumped the gun on Xavier Chaplin, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jake Johnson
They talked themselves into Jake Johnson at No. 221, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick225 Rnd7 Isaac Brown
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaac Brown this early at pick No. 225. The roster fit checks out.
