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

Some picks age like wine; Donovan Jackson at the 44th pick will need to, sitting 42 spots clear of his grade. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 12 they get an every-down engine for the run game at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick15 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 15th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
They talked themselves into Donovan Jackson at pick 44, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
