Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueA NeedB- TradesF FutureB
Grand theft in pick No. 150: the Cowboys steal Loveland and grade out a D+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cowboys watched Colston Loveland slide 126 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. The math is unkind, and the D+ follows.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a double-digit-sack hope at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Nice patience on Kenneth Grant, who had no business lasting to pick 37. It fills a real need, too.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They read the board right and Omarion Hampton was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick66 Rnd3 Grey Zabel
Grey Zabel in No. 66 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 76th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jack Bech
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 119 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick150 Rnd5 Colston Loveland
Taking Colston Loveland in the 150th pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Luke Kandra in slot 152, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
No drama and no debate, Dont'e Thornton Jr. went about where he belonged in slot 170. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jordan James
Steal is underselling it; Jordan James at Round 6, Pick 12 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
