Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Rosemy-Jacksaint from sliding. Grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint tumbling to the Cowboys in the 244th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick No. 24 they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
A slide stopped in No. 56, with Jonathon Brooks worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at pick 87 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor in Round 5, Pick 38 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick216 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
They robbed the room for Johnny Dixon here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick233 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace in slot 233 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the 244th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
