Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Cowboys kept it disciplined and banked a B.

Some picks age like wine; Michael Wiley at Round 7, Pick 24 will need to, sitting 55 spots clear of his grade. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Cowing at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In No. 24 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Value with a capital V on Edgerrin Cooper in the 56th overall pick, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
By-the-book stuff, Braelon Allen at Round 4, Pick 6 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
The board fumbled Jacob Cowing all the way to pick No. 174, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse slid further than he should have, and the 176th pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick182 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kamal Hadden at the Round 6 slot is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick216 Rnd6 Evan Williams
Evan Williams in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick233 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trevin Wallace. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick244 Rnd7 Michael Wiley
They reached into another round for Michael Wiley, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
This one needs a full-page explanation: Matthew Jones in the 251st overall pick, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
