Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureC+
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D+.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cowboys spent No. 221 on Jamal Haynes, a name the board had a full 45 spots lower. It grades a D+, and the process earned it.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In pick 12 they get a three-down runner, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick14 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
In the 14th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick112 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
They reached into another round for Kyle Louis, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They paid sticker price for Davison Igbinosun in the 150th pick, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on DJ Campbell. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick215 Rnd6 Diego Pavia
Diego Pavia in No. 215 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jamal Haynes
They talked themselves into Jamal Haynes at pick 221, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Isaiah Nwokobia at No. 225 is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
