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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jalen Coker at the 174th pick, a reach of 37 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. For now it grades a C, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The Dixon steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 24th overall pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at pick No. 56 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
They left a pile of value on the table to take Braelon Allen this early at the Round 3 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick130 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
They reached a country mile for McKinnley Jackson at slot 130, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in Round 5, Pick 13 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick157 Rnd5 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at the 157th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jalen Coker
Jalen Coker at No. 174 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189 Rnd6 Myles Harden
They robbed the room for Myles Harden here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick216 Rnd6 Bub Means
They paid a round early for Bub Means in the 216th overall pick, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick233 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick244 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Michael Barrett. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
