Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B.

The Cowboys bet big and early on Jayson Jones, 86 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The Nelson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
In the 30th overall pick they get a green-dot type in the middle, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A wild overpay on TreVeyon Henderson in Round 2, Pick 26, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick93 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
A conviction pick on Matt Goncalves at pick No. 93 that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick123 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Justin Eboigbe well ahead of where he belonged. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaylan Ford at slot 163. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in slot 174 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jayson Jones
Jayson Jones at No. 212 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at the 239th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick245 Rnd7 Zion Nelson
Zion Nelson at the 245th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick250 Rnd7 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in pick 250 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
