Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 190th overall pick lands the Cowboys a B, Mondon Jr. and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let Smael Mondon Jr. slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at Round 6, Pick 12. Highway robbery.

They will need West to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 12 they get a lead back with juice, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the 44th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
They paid sticker price for Jared Ivey in slot 76, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
Value with a capital V on Kyren Lacy in the 150th overall pick, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Logan Brown
The board had Logan Brown higher than No. 170, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick172 Rnd5 Addison West
Addison West in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
The board had cheaper options than Cobee Bryant at pick No. 174, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick190 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
The board fumbled Smael Mondon Jr. all the way to Round 6, Pick 12, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick211 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They robbed the room for Dont'e Thornton Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
They barely believed it either: Kyle Monangai still on the board at the 249th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
