Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it.

The Cowboys bet big and early on Trajan Jeffcoat, 75 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in pick 56 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
No edge and no loss on Trey Benson in the 87th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick102 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They paid sticker price for Cole Bishop in the 102nd pick, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick118 Rnd4 James Williams
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on James Williams. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
A reach for Ty'Ron Hopper in pick No. 169; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
A clean, defensible pick in the 174th pick with a little surplus value in Dillon Johnson. It fills a real need, too.
Pick216 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
They took Garret Greenfield at par in Round 6, Pick 41, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
This one needs a full-page explanation: Taulia Tagovailoa in slot 219, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick233 Rnd7 Trajan Jeffcoat
Trajan Jeffcoat at pick No. 233 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick244 Rnd7 Bub Means
By-the-book stuff, Bub Means at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
