Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys answered their biggest question with Ward. Grade: B.

Start where it matters. The Cowboys took Cam Ward to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Henderson. They are betting West proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
They let Emeka Egbuka come to them and pounced at pick No. 44. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in slot 76 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
No drama and no debate, Luke Kandra went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick171 Rnd5 CJ West
CJ West at pick 171 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jarquez Hunter
They paid a round early for Jarquez Hunter in the 174th pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Somehow Dont'e Thornton Jr. was still sitting there in No. 204, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at the 211th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick239 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Theo Wease Jr.. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at the 247th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
