Draft Grade — Cowboys

FutureA
The Cowboys let Harmon fall and pounced. Final grade: B+. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Derrick Harmon, pick No. 50, roughly 21 picks past where he belonged. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.
Every board in the league had Conner lower, and that gap is the story. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Armand Membou
In No. 15 they get a building block for the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
Steal is underselling it; Derrick Harmon at Round 2, Pick 18 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Good price on Deone Walker in pick No. 92, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in slot 149 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick171
Rnd5
DJ Giddens
They paid sticker price for DJ Giddens in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick174
Rnd5
Quincy Riley
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Quincy Riley. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204
Rnd6
Nazir Stackhouse
No edge and no loss on Nazir Stackhouse in pick 204; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick211
Rnd6
Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai at the 211th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick223
Rnd7
Alijah Huzzie
They did well to land Alijah Huzzie in No. 223, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
No drama and no debate, Jamon Dumas-Johnson went about where he belonged in slot 239. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick247
Rnd7
Hayden Conner
A wild overpay on Hayden Conner in pick No. 247, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
