Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureC+
Larceny in the 138th overall pick lands the Cowboys a C+, Paul Jr. and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Chris Paul Jr. at pick 138 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Conner pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Hit on Will Johnson and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 12th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Omarion Hampton in pick No. 44. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson slipping to pick 76 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick99 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Savion Williams. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Taking Chris Paul Jr. in Round 4, Pick 37 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jared Wilson in slot 139, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
They read the board right and Mitchell Evans was the payoff at the 170th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick172 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at pick 172 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They liked Dont'e Thornton Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 174. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick190 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at No. 190 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at slot 249 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
