Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Cowboys did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

The dealing was even money, start to finish.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In slot 24 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They took Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at par in the 61st pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
A clean, defensible pick in the 87th overall pick with a little surplus value in Roman Wilson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
No drama and no debate, Jarrian Jones went about where he belonged in No. 124. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
They did well to land Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 174, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jalen Berger
Jalen Berger in the Round 6 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick245 Rnd7 Mark Perry
Mark Perry in pick 245 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
