Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC FutureB-
The Cowboys kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Some picks age like wine; Bryson Nesbit at the 211th overall pick will need to, sitting 68 spots clear of his grade.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
In the Round 1 slot they get a featured back. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tre Harris
By-the-book stuff, Tre Harris at the 48th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in No. 58 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard at pick 76 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick98 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
Value with a capital V on Sebastian Castro in the 98th pick, a genuine coup. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick166 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tommi Hill at Round 5, Pick 28 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Tyler Shough in the 171st pick, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
No edge and no loss on Willie Lampkin in pick 174; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Ricky White III
Ricky White III at Round 6, Pick 28 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick211 Rnd6 Bryson Nesbit
Bryson Nesbit at No. 211 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at pick No. 239 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
They let Jabbar Muhammad come to them and pounced at slot 247. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
