Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Knight Jr. from sliding. Grade: B+.

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Demetrius Knight Jr., the No. 60 name on the board, sitting there at No. 236 like a gift left on the doorstep. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
A quiet steal in the 19th pick: Abdul Carter for less than the market said. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick44 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
They barely believed it either: Ashton Jeanty still on the board at pick No. 44. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick53 Rnd2 Armand Membou
Armand Membou in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in Round 3, Pick 12, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick92 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
They robbed the room for Walter Nolen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick149 Rnd5 Cam Ward
You do not let a quarterback like Cam Ward reach the 149th overall pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick172 Rnd5 Wyatt Milum
The board fumbled Wyatt Milum all the way to No. 172, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jahdae Barron
Somehow Jahdae Barron was still sitting there in pick 174, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tre Harris
They will replay Tre Harris at slot 204 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick211 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
Circle this one: T.J. Sanders at the 211th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd7 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at No. 217 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.
Pick235 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 235th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick236 Rnd7 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at pick 236 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick239 Rnd7 Nohl Williams
Steal is underselling it; Nohl Williams at Round 7, Pick 23 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247 Rnd7 David Walker
A edge rusher of that caliber at pick No. 247 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
