Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Ferguson: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cowboys watched Terrance Ferguson slide 61 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Walker reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the 12th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III in the 44th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They went early on Deone Walker in No. 76, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
By-the-book stuff, Damien Martinez at pick 149 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick171 Rnd5 Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard in Round 5, Pick 33 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174 Rnd5 Terrance Ferguson
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Terrance Ferguson in pick No. 174, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
