Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB
The Cowboys let McGlothern fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Dwight McGlothern got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at the Round 7 slot.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They are betting Jackson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick No. 27 they get a building block for the line, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks slipping to No. 56 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick 87 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
They left a pile of value on the table to take McKinnley Jackson this early at the Round 4 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
Steal is underselling it; Trevor Keegan at the 174th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett at the 216th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick226 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at Round 7, Pick 6 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton at slot 233 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jordan Magee in the 244th pick, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
