Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a D-.

The war room fell hard for Jimmy Horn Jr., and it showed at No. 211: 141 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.

Everything downstream of Cam Ward depends on Cam Ward, and the building knows it.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the 2nd overall pick they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A tidy bit of business in the 33rd pick, where Kenneth Grant graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick45 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at slot 45 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick67 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
A premium they did not need to pay, Maxwell Hairston a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in No. 76 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick116 Rnd4 Willie Lampkin
They talked themselves into Willie Lampkin at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 LaJohntay Wester
A real head-scratcher, LaJohntay Wester in pick No. 170 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They paid a round early for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 172nd pick, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
They barely believed it either: Oronde Gadsden II still on the board at slot 174. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jimmy Horn Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jimmy Horn Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
