Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The Cowboys spent real capital to be 69 picks early on Curtis Jacobs, and the board is going to hold them to it. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

With quarterback and tight end unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In No. 31 they get a double-digit-sack hope at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
A clean, defensible pick in the 58th pick with a little surplus value in Jonathon Brooks. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jaylin Simpson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaylin Simpson at pick No. 89 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick90 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
Of all the spots to shop, they chose edge rusher. Adisa Isaac in Round 3, Pick 27 leaves quarterback and tight end for later.
Pick91 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
They liked Matt Goncalves enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 91. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92 Rnd3 Graham Barton
A premium they did not need to pay, Graham Barton a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
A big swing on Roman Wilson at slot 94, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Curtis Jacobs
They reached a country mile for Curtis Jacobs at pick 126, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
