Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Caldwell should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jamaree Caldwell got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at No. 150.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 12th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jalen Royals at slot 76 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jamaree Caldwell
The board fumbled Jamaree Caldwell all the way to Round 5, Pick 11, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick170 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at No. 170 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick172 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson slid further than he should have, and the 172nd pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
Nice patience on RJ Harvey, who had no business lasting to pick 174. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick190 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at pick No. 190 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Ricky White III
Ricky White III at No. 211 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick249 Rnd7 Sam Brown
Value with a capital V on Sam Brown in the 249th overall pick, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
