Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D+.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent No. 150 on Donovan Smith, a name most had 97 spots down the list.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Jackson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick 6 they get a wrecking ball inside. A real need, handled.
Pick12 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 12 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick37 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks slipping to slot 37 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick44 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
Fair-plus on Cameron Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They barely believed it either: TreVeyon Henderson still on the board at the Round 3 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 Trey Amos
They robbed the room for Trey Amos here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in pick 80 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Devin Neal
A running back of that caliber at the 105th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the 111th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick142 Rnd5 Donovan Jackson
Steal is underselling it; Donovan Jackson at pick No. 142 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick150 Rnd5 Donovan Smith
A real head-scratcher, Donovan Smith in Round 5, Pick 11 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick190 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West in No. 190 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
