Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
D-
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesF
FutureB-
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D-. Some picks age like wine; Trey Moore at the 117th overall pick will need to, sitting 154 spots clear of his grade. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.
Mondon Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.
Spending an early pick on safety with cornerback, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Wyatt Milum
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at Round 2, Pick 12 is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick57
Rnd2
Tre Harris
The board had Tre Harris higher than slot 57, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76
Rnd3
Deone Walker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Deone Walker in the 76th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick78
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
Nothing to complain about; Omarr Norman-Lott went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick81
Rnd3
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at pick 81 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick84
Rnd3
Tez Johnson
They took Tez Johnson at par in pick No. 84, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick109
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113
Rnd4
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at pick 113 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick117
Rnd4
Trey Moore
Trey Moore in slot 117 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick119
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Kevin Winston Jr. while clear needs at cornerback, quarterback and other spots sat open.
Pick148
Rnd5
Demetrius Knight Jr.
They barely believed it either: Demetrius Knight Jr. still on the board at the 148th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick156
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at No. 156 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168
Rnd5
Cam Skattebo
Taking Cam Skattebo in Round 5, Pick 31 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170
Rnd5
CJ West
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for CJ West. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick173
Rnd5
Tonka Hemingway
A real head-scratcher, Tonka Hemingway in the 173rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick186
Rnd6
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at pick No. 186 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick209
Rnd6
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the 209th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248
Rnd7
Damien Martinez
They will replay Damien Martinez at pick 248 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
