Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Reid: D.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cowboys did exactly that with Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 4 slot.

Getting Reid where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in pick 44 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 45th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at No. 76 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in Round 3, Pick 14 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick81 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
A real head-scratcher, Ajani Cornelius in pick 81 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112 Rnd4 Savion Williams
They paid sticker price for Savion Williams in slot 112, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick115 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dont'e Thornton Jr.. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick117 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
They robbed the room for TreVeyon Henderson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick118 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
They let Nicholas Singleton come to them and pounced at the Round 4 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 137th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
You do not let a tight end like Oronde Gadsden II reach No. 148 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239 Rnd7 Karene Reid
Karene Reid in Round 7, Pick 23 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
