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

The rest of the league had time to spare on Michael Pratt; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 53 spots ahead at slot 87. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D+ is the result.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The Williams steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 21st pick they get a long-term starter on the line, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick23 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In pick No. 23 they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the 24th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in Round 2, Pick 24 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Michael Pratt
Value said wait; Michael Pratt in pick 87 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaac Guerendo this early at No. 108. It fills a real need, too.
Pick132 Rnd4 Nehemiah Pritchett
The board had cheaper options than Nehemiah Pritchett at slot 132, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at the 157th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
They did well to land Jalyx Hunt in pick 159, just ahead of his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick174 Rnd5 James Williams
You do not let a linebacker like James Williams reach the 174th overall pick and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick216 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett at pick No. 216 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in No. 233 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick244 Rnd7 Bub Means
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bub Means. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
