Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Lawson from sliding. Grade: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Deontae Lawson, pick 190, roughly 102 picks past where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They will need Williams to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Cameron Williams
In the 13th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer in pick No. 44 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick78 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Tyleik Williams in No. 78, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
They will replay Barrett Carter at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
This one needs a full-page explanation: DJ Campbell in Round 5, Pick 31, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170 Rnd5 J.Michael Sturdivant
J.Michael Sturdivant in the 170th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Savion Williams
They left a pile of value on the table to take Savion Williams this early at pick 171. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick190 Rnd6 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at slot 190 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in slot 209 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
