Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
Williams is the plan now, and the Cowboys grade out a D.

Nobody had McKinnley Jackson this high, and it is not close. The Cowboys reached 52 spots to get him at the 71st pick.

Caleb Williams gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Johnson.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 4th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick5 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In No. 27 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In slot 30 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Good price on Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
They talked themselves into McKinnley Jackson at pick 71, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
They paid sticker price for Trey Benson in Round 3, Pick 24, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick140 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Chau Smith-Wade at pick 140. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in the 174th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford slid further than he should have, and the Round 6 slot is lovely value for the linebacker. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
A wild overpay on Solomon Byrd in slot 233, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick244 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Cornelius Johnson at No. 244 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
