Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys turned the phones into found money: B.

Nobody had Eric Gentry this high, and it is not close. The Cowboys reached 131 spots to get him at Round 7, Pick 1. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Garett Bolles pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Colton Hood
In the 32nd pick they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. in slot 37 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66 Rnd3 Anthony Lucas
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Anthony Lucas. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick115 Rnd4 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick178 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. at No. 178 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick179 Rnd5 Lee Hunter
A real head-scratcher, Lee Hunter in pick 179 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick216 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
They reached a country mile for Eric Gentry at the 216th pick, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick229 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at Round 7, Pick 14 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
