Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueA- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent pick No. 171 on Gerry Bohanon, a name most had 266 spots down the list. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 15 they get a centerpiece for the ground game at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, and a steal at that.
Pick46 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They did well to land Deone Walker in slot 76, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the 77th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at No. 117 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick123 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wild overpay on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 123rd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick 152 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the 168th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Taking Smael Mondon Jr. in pick No. 170 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick171 Rnd5 Gerry Bohanon
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gerry Bohanon this early at No. 171. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick190 Rnd6 Michael Taaffe
You do not let a safety like Michael Taaffe reach slot 190 and blink. They did not. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick209 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
The board fumbled Raheim Sanders all the way to Round 6, Pick 34, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Somehow Clay Webb was still sitting there in the 248th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
