Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent pick No. 247 on Will Sheppard, a name most had 89 spots down the list. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Getting Revel Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
No drama and no debate, Matthew Golden went about where he belonged in No. 12. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick44 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
Somehow Shavon Revel Jr. was still sitting there in pick 44, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at slot 76 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
By-the-book stuff, Bhayshul Tuten at pick No. 149 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
Value said wait; Nazir Stackhouse in Round 5, Pick 33 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174 Rnd5 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson in the 174th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204 Rnd6 John Williams
They talked themselves into John Williams at pick 204, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick211 Rnd6 Nick Martin
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nick Martin this early at Round 6, Pick 35. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick247 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
Will Sheppard at the 247th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
