Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The phones were a trap the Cowboys kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

The Powers-Johnson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 8 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They took Xavier Worthy at par in the 43rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
No drama and no debate, Jonathon Brooks went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87 Rnd3 Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt in No. 87 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the 104th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick115 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A conviction pick on Javon Foster at pick 115 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at slot 125 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick133 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in pick 133 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Keith Randolph Jr. at the 152nd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick158 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
No edge and no loss on Braelon Allen in slot 158; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They paid a round early for Jordan Jefferson in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173 Rnd5 Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman in the 173rd pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick213 Rnd6 Myles Jones
Myles Jones at Round 6, Pick 38 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick242 Rnd7 Isaiah Neyor
Isaiah Neyor slipping to pick No. 242 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
