Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
The Cowboys let Pearl fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Julian Pearl slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at Round 7, Pick 13. Highway robbery.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trade work was a quiet net positive. They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Graham Barton
A tidy bit of business in the 33rd overall pick, where Graham Barton graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58 Rnd2 Junior Colson
A tidy little value on Junior Colson in pick No. 58, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in No. 87 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at slot 94 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick101 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Nothing to complain about; Khyree Jackson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in the 128th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Steal is underselling it; Mason McCormick at pick 169 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kitan Oladapo in the 174th pick, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick216 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
The board fumbled Cornelius Johnson all the way to pick No. 216, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick233 Rnd7 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl in Round 7, Pick 13 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick244 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Nice patience on Michael Barrett, who had no business lasting to the Round 7 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
