Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueC NeedB+ TradesF FutureA
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

The Cowboys did not so much draft J.J. Weaver as overpay for him, 73 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

They banked enough surplus on Pritchett to cover a lot of smaller sins.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In the 23rd pick they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In slot 24 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks is a better player than pick No. 56 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87 Rnd3 Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt at the 87th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
The board had cheaper options than Johnny Wilson at No. 108, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114 Rnd4 James Williams
A reach for James Williams in the 114th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They talked themselves into Jordan Jefferson at Round 5, Pick 17, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick157 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
They paid a round early for Braiden McGregor in No. 157, more than the board wanted. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick174 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Circle this one: Nehemiah Pritchett at pick No. 174 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick177 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
No drama and no debate, Ty'Ron Hopper went about where he belonged in pick 177. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kendall Milton in the Round 6 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
A big swing on Ryan Watts at slot 233, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at the 244th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
