Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureF
Nobody dealt better than the Cowboys this weekend: C+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cowboys shredded theirs for Joshua Cephus. He came off 50 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. Justin Madubuike gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Hit on Jackson Powers-Johnson and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid up for Jackson Powers-Johnson at Round 1, Pick 24 when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In the 30th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in slot 56 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss at the 61st pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Benson. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in No. 104 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joe Milton III well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick216 Rnd6 Joshua Cephus
They reached into another round for Joshua Cephus, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick233 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark in slot 233 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
