Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA- FutureB
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cowboys reached some 24 spots for Christian Jones, and value like that does not grow back.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. That James pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jackson Powers-Johnson. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick80 Rnd3 D.J. James
They read the board right and D.J. James was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 16. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in No. 87 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd in pick No. 124 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick173 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in slot 173 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.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kitan Oladapo in the 174th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick212 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trevor Keegan this early at No. 212. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick245 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
A reach for Dwight McGlothern in the Round 7 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
