Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cowboys: B-.

The war room fell hard for Desmond Watson, and it showed at Round 5, Pick 33: 59 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In No. 12 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They jumped the gun on Alfred Collins, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jacob Parrish
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jacob Parrish well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in pick 149 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson at pick No. 171 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Dont'e Thornton Jr. a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Fadil Diggs
Fadil Diggs in the 204th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick211 Rnd6 John Williams
They reached a country mile for John Williams at No. 211, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick239 Rnd7 Ben Yurosek
Value said wait; Ben Yurosek in pick 239 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
A big swing on Shilo Sanders at Round 7, Pick 31, well ahead of any board in the building. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
