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

The Cowboys did not so much draft Noah Thomas as overpay for him, 158 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Lawson. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick No. 13 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer in the 44th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick78 Rnd3 Shemar Stewart
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 14 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick150 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Taking Deontae Lawson in No. 150 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
Value said wait; DJ Campbell in slot 169 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Savion Williams
A wild overpay on Savion Williams in the 170th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Somehow Smael Mondon Jr. was still sitting there in slot 171, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick190 Rnd6 Noah Thomas
They talked themselves into Noah Thomas at pick 190, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick209 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in the 209th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
