Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureA+
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cowboys reached some 74 spots for Roman Hemby, and value like that does not grow back.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Reese at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In No. 20 they get a green-dot type in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at the 49th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick70
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
By-the-book stuff, Keionte Scott at the 70th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick107
Rnd4
Zachariah Branch
They took Zachariah Branch at par in pick 107, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112
Rnd4
Caden Curry
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Caden Curry at Round 4, Pick 12 is the proof. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick150
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
They paid up for DJ Campbell at the Round 5 slot when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169
Rnd5
Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick177
Rnd5
Rayshaun Benny
A straight-up fair deal on Rayshaun Benny at No. 177, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick194
Rnd6
Roman Hemby
Roman Hemby at pick No. 194 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick215
Rnd6
Jordan Hall
Value said wait; Jordan Hall in pick 215 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick221
Rnd7
Kamran James
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kamran James. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick225
Rnd7
PJ Williams
No edge and no loss on PJ Williams in slot 225; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248
Rnd7
Jamari Lyons
No drama and no debate, Jamari Lyons went about where he belonged in the 248th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
