Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Cowboys: C+.

Nobody else had Lee Hunter anywhere near slot 209. The Cowboys did, by 160 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Mondon Jr.. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

If Kaleb Johnson and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Kaleb Johnson
In the 13th overall pick they get a three-down runner, a steep price for the projection.
Pick44 Rnd2 James Pearce Jr.
James Pearce Jr. at pick 44 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick78 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick150 Rnd5 Tory Horton
They talked themselves into Tory Horton at the 150th pick, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Mykel Williams
A slide stopped in slot 169, with Mykel Williams worth more than the price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Connor Colby
Nothing to complain about; Connor Colby went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in the Round 5 slot, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick190 Rnd6 Tim Smith
Value said wait; Tim Smith in slot 190 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick209 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
They left a pile of value on the table to take Lee Hunter this early at Round 6, Pick 34. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
