Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cowboys to a D+.

The Cowboys torched the value chart for Gerry Bohanon, taking him 248 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.

Getting Mondon Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. The Cowboys indulged a want in Mukuba while a need in tight end and interior defensive lineman stayed open.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In slot 4 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick13 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 13 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Nice patience on Jalon Walker, who had no business lasting to the 35th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in Round 2, Pick 12 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick54 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
A conviction pick on Ashton Gillotte at pick No. 54 that the board grades a round light. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick69 Rnd3 Carson Beck
They reached into another round for Carson Beck, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick73 Rnd3 Darien Porter
No edge and no loss on Darien Porter in pick 73; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick78 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at No. 78 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 4 slot on Andrew Mukuba with tight end and interior defensive lineman unsolved.
Pick106 Rnd4 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart in the 106th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109 Rnd4 Maxwell Hairston
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Maxwell Hairston at Round 4, Pick 8. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in slot 119 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick153 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dont'e Thornton Jr.. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at the 170th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick171 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Gerry Bohanon
Gerry Bohanon in No. 189 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Shilo Sanders at Round 7, Pick 34 is the proof. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
