Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys let Cohen fall into their laps, and walked away with a C.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Cowboys, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end and interior defensive lineman. That Cohen pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Gentry pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 24 they get a go-to option on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with tight end and interior defensive lineman open.
Pick113 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 113, where Khyree Jackson graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah Adams. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129 Rnd4 James Williams
By-the-book stuff, James Williams at slot 129 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick161 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. in pick 161 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick171 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
You do not let a linebacker like Ty'Ron Hopper reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
They barely believed it either: Javion Cohen still on the board at No. 174. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick212 Rnd6 Isaiah Neyor
A straight-up fair deal on Isaiah Neyor at Round 6, Pick 37, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Eric Gentry well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick240 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke at pick No. 240 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
They took Ja'Had Carter at par in slot 245, which is nothing to complain about. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
