Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Cowboys robbed the room for Wingo. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. Mekhi Wingo sat on the board until pick 94, and the Cowboys did not need to be asked twice.

Every board in the league had Jones lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 24th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in pick No. 63 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jamari Thrash
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jamari Thrash. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in pick 94 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick130 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
A straight-up fair deal on Malik Mustapha at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
A premium they did not need to pay, Christian Jones a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick212 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at slot 212 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jontrey Hunter
Jontrey Hunter at the 215th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick245 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson slipping to pick 245 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
