Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in slot 168: the Cowboys steal Henderson and grade out a B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. TreVeyon Henderson at the 168th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They are betting McLaughlin proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

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

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In slot 19 they get a sticky cover corner, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at the 44th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren is a better player than No. 55 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Fair-plus on Andrew Mukuba, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick148 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at pick No. 148 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick168 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, TreVeyon Henderson in Round 5, Pick 31, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
They will replay Jay Higgins at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. in the 171st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
The board fumbled Nicholas Singleton all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick209 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
They paid sticker price for Miles Frazier in the 209th pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Paris Shand
A real head-scratcher, Paris Shand in No. 247 is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
