Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cowboys a A-.

The R.J. Oben selection is the head-turner. The Cowboys reached 152 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

Mondon Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

The Cowboys paired the rookies with proven help, Henry To'oTo'o leading the way.

Bottom line, with Emeka Egbuka leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In slot 25 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They barely believed it either: Jalon Walker still on the board at the 45th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Circle this one: Omarion Hampton at pick 76 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in Round 4, Pick 14 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
Steal is underselling it; Shemar Turner at pick No. 148 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Ty Hamilton
They reached a country mile for Ty Hamilton at No. 150, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick168 Rnd5 Connor Colby
A conviction pick on Connor Colby at slot 168 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170 Rnd5 Quinn Carroll
This one needs a full-page explanation: Quinn Carroll in No. 170, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
They will replay Chris Paul Jr. at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick186 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at the 186th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick209 Rnd6 R.J. Oben
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for R.J. Oben. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick232 Rnd7 Bryson Eason
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bryson Eason this early at the 232nd overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at pick No. 241 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
The board fumbled Jonas Sanker all the way to pick 248, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
