Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Dixon: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Johnny Dixon had no business being available in the Round 7 slot, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 24 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
The board fumbled Tyler Guyton all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Blake Corum
By-the-book stuff, Blake Corum at pick No. 87 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the 173rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick213 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III slipping to slot 213 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
You do not let a cornerback like Johnny Dixon reach Round 7, Pick 11 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick242 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tayvion Robinson at No. 242 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
