Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueC NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Cowboys found their guy under center in McCarthy: D.

The Johnny Wilson selection is the head-turner. The Cowboys reached 33 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The whole projection now runs through J.J. McCarthy; hit there and everything else looks smarter.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Johnson.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In No. 11 they get their quarterback of the future, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick23 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 23rd overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In pick No. 28 they get a cornerstone up front, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick 56 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
No edge and no loss on Trey Benson in slot 87; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick92 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Johnny Wilson this early at the 92nd pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at No. 174 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick216 Rnd6 Eric Watts
Eric Watts in pick No. 216 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick220 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Cornelius Johnson in slot 220, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick233 Rnd7 Myles Harden
They will replay Myles Harden at the 233rd pick for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick244 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
A conviction pick on Ryan Watts at Round 7, Pick 24 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
