Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cowboys to a D.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Willie Lampkin at the 137th overall pick, a reach of 40 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Put together, it is a D.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The Blue pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 20th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at the 44th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick50 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at pick 50 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick52 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Demetrius Knight Jr. at pick No. 52, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
They let Cameron Williams come to them and pounced at slot 76. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Nice patience on Terrance Ferguson, who had no business lasting to No. 122. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick131 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
A tidy little value on Cobee Bryant in the 131st pick, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137 Rnd4 Willie Lampkin
This one needs a full-page explanation: Willie Lampkin in the Round 4 slot, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
The board had Tyler Shough higher than the 149th overall pick, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick184 Rnd6 Vernon Broughton
By-the-book stuff, Vernon Broughton at pick 184 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue at pick No. 204 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
