Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Some picks age like wine; Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins at pick No. 249 will need to, sitting 147 spots clear of his grade. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The Howard steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick 12 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at No. 44 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at pick No. 76 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick150 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They talked themselves into JJ Pegues at the 150th pick, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Darius Alexander reach Round 5, Pick 31 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick172 Rnd5 Will Howard
Taking Will Howard in slot 172 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez at No. 174 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick190 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III in slot 190 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick211 Rnd6 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. at the 211th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
They reached a country mile for Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins at pick 249, and the board is aghast. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
