Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B- to prove it.

The Jordan James selection is the head-turner. The Cowboys reached 43 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Isaiah Bond
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a No. 1 receiver, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in the 58th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Tommi Hill
They reached into another round for Tommi Hill, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick122 Rnd4 Riley Mahlman
They took Riley Mahlman at par in pick 122, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at pick No. 154 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jordan James
Jordan James in No. 186 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
