Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B.

The Cowboys spent real capital to be 124 picks early on Jimmy Horn Jr., and the board is going to hold them to it. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They banked enough surplus on Gordon II to cover a lot of smaller sins. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 12 they get a three-down runner at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick44 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
They let Derrick Harmon come to them and pounced at the 44th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They liked Savion Williams enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 12. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel at pick No. 149 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Mitchell Evans in No. 171, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick191 Rnd6 Logan Brown
Steal is underselling it; Logan Brown at slot 191 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in Round 6, Pick 28 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick208 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens at the Round 6 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. at the 211th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick239 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in slot 239 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
They left a pile of value on the table to take Shilo Sanders this early at pick No. 247. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
