Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA- FutureA+
Good, not great, for the Cowboys: B+.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Hayden Conner in No. 211, a good 54 spots before the room expected him. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The Jackson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Adding Jonathan Taylor by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart in the 44th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick76 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Nothing to complain about; Carson Schwesinger went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 15, where Xavier Restrepo graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick136 Rnd4 Logan Brown
A conviction pick on Logan Brown at slot 136 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick149 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith slid further than he should have, and the 149th pick is lovely value for the running back. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick171 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
They paid up for Vernon Broughton at the 171st pick when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick184 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
No edge and no loss on JJ Pegues in the 184th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick204 Rnd6 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III at pick No. 204 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
They reached a country mile for Hayden Conner at No. 211, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick239 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dante Trader Jr. at pick 239 is the proof. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick247 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Steal is underselling it; Ja'Quinden Jackson at Round 7, Pick 31 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
They did well to land CJ Dippre in slot 248, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick254 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
