Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureA+
Smith should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a D+. The rest of the league had time to spare on Tyler Batty; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 30 spots ahead at the Round 6 slot. The math is unkind, and the D+ follows.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Smith.
In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Nic Scourton
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get juice off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick26
Rnd1
Emery Jones Jr.
In No. 26 they get a building block for the line, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in pick 35 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick41
Rnd2
Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at slot 41 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick56
Rnd2
Earnest Greene III
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Earnest Greene III. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick58
Rnd2
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at No. 58 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62
Rnd2
Nic Anderson
A conviction pick on Nic Anderson at slot 62 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 3 slot with a little surplus value in Nicholas Singleton. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick95
Rnd3
Cam Ward
Cam Ward is a better player than Round 3, Pick 31 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
A tidy little value on Malachi Moore in the 122nd overall pick, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick154
Rnd5
Alfred Collins
A real head-scratcher, Alfred Collins in the 154th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159
Rnd5
Donovan Smith
They robbed the room for Donovan Smith here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick186
Rnd6
Tosh Baker
They jumped the gun on Tosh Baker, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick191
Rnd6
Tyler Batty
They reached into another round for Tyler Batty, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
