Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB- TradesC- FutureC
Washington Jr. should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a C+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Mike Washington Jr., No. 150, roughly 19 picks past where he belonged. The final tally is a middling C+.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They are betting Daniels proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In No. 4 they get a double-digit-sack hope. More want than need.
Pick112 Rnd4 CJ Daniels
They jumped the gun on CJ Daniels, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick150 Rnd5 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. in pick 150 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick177 Rnd5 Sawyer Robertson
Fair-plus on Sawyer Robertson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick215 Rnd6 Brett Norfleet
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brett Norfleet. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick221 Rnd7 Hykeem Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Hykeem Williams at pick No. 221, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick225 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman at the 225th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
