Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys robbed the room for Jackson. Final grade: D-.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Cowboys shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

Getting Jackson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The Fuaga reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In No. 7 they get a blindside protector, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick13 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get an anchor for the defensive front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In slot 24 they get an island corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson is a better player than the 38th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
No edge and no loss on Jonathon Brooks in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick57 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
By-the-book stuff, Zach Frazier at pick No. 57 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 77th pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mike Sainristil at pick 87 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Fair-plus on Jalen McMillan, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick112 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the 112th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
A tidy little value on Spencer Rattler in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They paid sticker price for Luke McCaffrey in slot 148, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Taking Kitan Oladapo in Round 5, Pick 38 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick208 Rnd6 Trente Jones
Trente Jones slid further than he should have, and No. 208 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson in the 216th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick223 Rnd7 Logan Lee
They read the board right and Logan Lee was the payoff at pick 223. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in No. 233 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick244 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Nice patience on Trevin Wallace, who had no business lasting to slot 244. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
You do not let a cornerback like Sheridan Jones reach the 246th overall pick and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
