Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 150th pick lands the Cowboys a C+, Campbell and all.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cowboys watched Jihaad Campbell slide 110 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

Every board in the league had Sturdivant lower, and that gap is the story. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him. Need was not the driver here.
Pick44 Rnd2 Shemar Stewart
Shemar Stewart in the 44th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick78 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
The board fumbled Tyleik Williams all the way to slot 78, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
They will replay Jihaad Campbell at pick No. 150 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick169 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, DJ Campbell well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at the 170th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171 Rnd5 J.Michael Sturdivant
J.Michael Sturdivant in pick 171 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick190 Rnd6 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at No. 190 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick209 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
They barely believed it either: Ollie Gordon II still on the board at No. 209. The roster fit checks out.
