Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureD
The Cowboys land in the muddy middle: C+.

The Cowboys bet big and early on Phillip Webb, 91 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

The Stout pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

So much rides on Matthew Golden that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A quiet steal in slot 44: Omarion Hampton for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in No. 76 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick78 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick No. 78 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick149 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Lathan Ransom in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Shough at the 171st pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Shemar James
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Shemar James. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick211 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
A big swing on Cam Jackson at No. 211, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick239 Rnd7 Upton Stout
Upton Stout in the 239th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick247 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
They reached a country mile for Phillip Webb at pick No. 247, and the board is aghast. A minor itch, scratched.
