Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
The Cowboys worked the phones like thieves and earned a B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cowboys did exactly that with Vernon Broughton in pick 149. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Hunter steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the 12th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in No. 42 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick55 Rnd2 Shemar Turner
This one needs a full-page explanation: Shemar Turner in the Round 2 slot, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 9 with a little surplus value in Cameron Williams. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Value said wait; Dylan Fairchild in pick No. 76 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They took Deone Walker at par in pick 86, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick158 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
A slide stopped in slot 158, with Trevor Etienne worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
They read the board right and Damien Martinez was the payoff at the 174th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick204 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
Good price on KeAndre Lambert-Smith in pick 204, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jaylen Reed in pick No. 209, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the 211th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
The board fumbled Jarquez Hunter all the way to No. 217, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick239 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson is a better player than Round 7, Pick 23 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa slid further than he should have, and the Round 7 slot is lovely value for the wide receiver. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
