Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA FutureB+
The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B+.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cowboys would have aced it. Jaydon Blue at the Round 7 slot is 81 spots clear of where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In pick 15 they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach slot 44 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at Round 5, Pick 11 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170 Rnd5 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at pick No. 170 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick172 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
They took Ollie Gordon II at par in the 172nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at slot 174 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham at Round 6, Pick 12 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
They robbed the room for Dorian Strong here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jaydon Blue
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaydon Blue well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
