Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

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 Torricelli Simpkins III in the 211th overall pick. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Grant falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 12 they get a workhorse for the backfield at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Kenneth Grant in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick No. 76 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick149 Rnd5 Nick Nash
No drama and no debate, Nick Nash went about where he belonged in the 149th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tommi Hill at slot 171 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod at No. 174 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick204 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board fumbled Dont'e Thornton Jr. all the way to the 204th pick, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211 Rnd6 Torricelli Simpkins III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Torricelli Simpkins III. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Carson Vinson at pick 239. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
A wild overpay on Shilo Sanders in Round 7, Pick 31, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor need, but a need all the same.
