Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cowboys did exactly that with Akheem Mesidor in Round 6, Pick 34. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.

The Mondon Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

The Winston Jr. pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at cornerback, quarterback and other spots. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In No. 12 they get a building block for the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at the 44th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick51 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
They reached into another round for Donovan Jackson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They reached a country mile for Jayden Higgins at pick No. 57, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick81 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
A reasonable price with a little left over, Omarr Norman-Lott in slot 81. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick109 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Kevin Winston Jr. adds a safety and leaves cornerback, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick112 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
They robbed the room for TreVeyon Henderson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick148 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Taking Sonny Styles in slot 148 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They took Dont'e Thornton Jr. at par in pick No. 168, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick170 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to pick 170, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick173 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
A premium they did not need to pay, Nazir Stackhouse a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Somehow Smael Mondon Jr. was still sitting there in the 186th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick209 Rnd6 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor at the 209th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham in slot 248 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
