Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedC+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Stewart from sliding. Grade: B+.

Call it larceny. Shemar Stewart sat on the board until Round 2, Pick 23, and the Cowboys did not need to be asked twice.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

With wide receiver, cornerback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a disruptor off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick55 Rnd2 Shemar Stewart
A want over a need in the Round 2 slot: Shemar Stewart adds an edge rusher while wide receiver, cornerback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick76 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in pick 76 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
No edge and no loss on Damien Martinez in the 149th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick171 Rnd5 CJ West
A reach on CJ West in pick No. 171; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
Fair-plus on Jake Briningstool, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
