Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Jones from sliding. Grade: D.

The phones were a trap the Cowboys kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Powers-Johnson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Getting Jones where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 13 they get a cornerstone up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 24th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 1 slot with a little surplus value in Kool-Aid McKinstry. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick44 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
No drama and no debate, Cooper Beebe went about where he belonged in the 44th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick56 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at pick 56 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
A slide stopped in slot 66, with Xavier Worthy worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in Round 3, Pick 15 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
No edge and no loss on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in pick No. 87; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dwight McGlothern in slot 174. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at pick 216 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Myles Harden
Myles Harden at the 233rd overall pick 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.
Pick244 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Steal is underselling it; Sheridan Jones at No. 244 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
