Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureC+
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B.

The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Cedric Gray, 23 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Landing Brownlee Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The trade work was a quiet net positive. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 26th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
The board had cheaper options than Ruke Orhorhoro at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Benson. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90 Rnd3 Javon Baker
They paid sticker price for Javon Baker in pick No. 90, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at No. 91 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at pick 125. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
