Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueA- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Burnip from sliding. Grade: D+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cowboys watched James Burnip slide 81 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Reaching for West left real value on the table behind him.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and cornerback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In slot 26 they get protection for the quarterback at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They barely believed it either: Malaki Starks still on the board at pick 37. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Nice patience on Jihaad Campbell, who had no business lasting to the 56th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Circle this one: TreVeyon Henderson at No. 76 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick107 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
They will replay Gunnar Helm at the 107th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson slipping to pick No. 118 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
The board had Joshua Farmer higher than Round 4, Pick 31, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick150 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick170 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 170 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
They robbed the room for Smael Mondon Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Tyler Cooper
Tyler Cooper in No. 174 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick190 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings at pick No. 190 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick192 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West at the 192nd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211 Rnd6 Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson at Round 6, Pick 33 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick249 Rnd7 James Burnip
James Burnip at the 249th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
