Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
Quarterback settled, Maye in the fold, and a D- for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys spent real capital to be 41 picks early on Jaylan Ford, and the board is going to hold them to it. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Drake Maye is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 3rd overall pick they get a franchise quarterback at fair value.
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 24 they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They liked Edgerrin Cooper enough to skip the value, taking him in the 35th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick56 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman slid further than he should have, and pick No. 56 is lovely value for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick57 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No edge and no loss on T'Vondre Sweat in No. 57; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick66 Rnd3 Trey Benson
No drama and no debate, Trey Benson went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 2. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at the 87th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
They reached into another round for Jaylan Ford, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jordan Whittington
They reached a country mile for Jordan Whittington at pick 216, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick233 Rnd7 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton at the 233rd pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
