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

The tape said wait; the Cowboys did not. Nazir Stackhouse went at the 154th pick, a good 45 picks before the board was ready.

Nelson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 14th pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at slot 44 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
The board fumbled Smael Mondon Jr. all the way to the 150th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick154 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nazir Stackhouse this early at pick No. 154. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
They barely believed it either: Jack Nelson still on the board at Round 5, Pick 31. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick172 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans in slot 172 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick174 Rnd5 Antwane Wells Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Antwane Wells Jr. a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
