Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Jackson from sliding. Grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jha'Quan Jackson, the Round 7 slot, roughly 55 picks past where he belonged.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Every board in the league had Powers-Johnson lower, and that gap is the story.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 24th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks slipping to the 56th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87 Rnd3 Max Melton
The board had Max Melton higher than slot 87, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
Circle this one: Brennan Jackson at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick216 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in No. 216 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson at pick 233 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at Round 7, Pick 24 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
