Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
Larceny in the Round 5 slot lands the Cowboys a A-, Cornelius and all.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Ajani Cornelius, the No. 114 name on the board, in Round 5, Pick 31. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Arden Key gives the group a proven body among the projects. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick No. 14 they get an island corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Value with a capital V on Omarion Hampton in the 44th pick, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Taking Alfred Collins in Round 3, Pick 12 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick119 Rnd4 Savion Williams
They robbed the room for Savion Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at No. 150 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 170 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in slot 172 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
Nice patience on Earnest Greene III, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick190 Rnd6 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Ja'Quinden Jackson in pick 190 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 211th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249 Rnd7 Brandon Adams
No drama and no debate, Brandon Adams went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 31. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
