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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with DJ Campbell at the 109th overall pick, a reach of 86 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

On value alone, Orange makes the weekend a net positive. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In the 9th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jeremiyah Love
Taking Jeremiyah Love in No. 41 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick109 Rnd4 DJ Campbell
A wild overpay on DJ Campbell in pick 109, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148 Rnd5 Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick177 Rnd6 Boubacar Traore
They reached a country mile for Boubacar Traore at slot 177, and the board is aghast. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick214 Rnd6 Brandon Inniss
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Brandon Inniss in the 214th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
