Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Grant: B.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Charles Grant, the No. 99 name on the board, in the 150th overall pick. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They are betting Dumas-Johnson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In slot 12 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, outstanding value to boot.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Circle this one: Tre Harris at pick 76 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick150 Rnd5 Charles Grant
They robbed the room for Charles Grant here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Taking Tyler Shough in the 170th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick172 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in Round 5, Pick 33 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
By-the-book stuff, Willie Lampkin at No. 174 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at pick No. 190 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick211 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
You do not let a cornerback like Cobee Bryant reach pick 211 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249 Rnd7 CJ West
The board fumbled CJ West all the way to Round 7, Pick 31, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
