Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureF
The Cowboys worked the phones like thieves and earned a B-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Cowboys fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Watson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
A reach for Omarion Hampton in No. 20; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick35 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
A tidy little value on Derrick Harmon in the 35th overall pick, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Fair-plus on Jihaad Campbell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick51 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau in Round 2, Pick 19 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick80 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They jumped the gun on Savion Williams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
They took Emery Jones Jr. at par in pick 122, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at the 149th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
A straight-up fair deal on Willie Lampkin at pick No. 171, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick204 Rnd6 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III in pick No. 204 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick211 Rnd6 Desmond Watson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Desmond Watson in Round 6, Pick 35, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
