Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B.

The Cowboys spent real capital to be 187 picks early on Gerry Bohanon, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The Sanders steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
A quiet steal in Round 1, Pick 12: Ashton Jeanty for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals at No. 44 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Circle this one: Jihaad Campbell at slot 76 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They reached a country mile for Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 148, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick168 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 168 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick170 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 Robert Spears-Jennings
You do not let a safety like Robert Spears-Jennings reach the 173rd overall pick and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick186 Rnd6 Cody Simon
They will replay Cody Simon at No. 186 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at pick No. 209 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247 Rnd7 Gerry Bohanon
A real head-scratcher, Gerry Bohanon in Round 7, Pick 31 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
