Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Cowboys.

Nobody had CJ West this high, and it is not close. The Cowboys reached 36 spots to get him at Round 5, Pick 11.

On value alone, Shough makes the weekend a net positive. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick No. 12 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
They liked TreVeyon Henderson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 44. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
They paid sticker price for Isaiah Bond in the 76th pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 CJ West
They talked themselves into CJ West at slot 149, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
They will replay Tyler Shough at the 171st overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick174 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick204 Rnd6 Karene Reid
Karene Reid in pick 204 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Caleb Rogers at No. 211 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick239 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at the 239th overall pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick247 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
They let Dante Trader Jr. come to them and pounced at pick No. 247. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
