Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueA- NeedB TradesD FutureB-
The Cowboys let James fall into their laps, and walked away with a C+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jordan James, the No. 56 name on the board, stolen at No. 148. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

They are betting Etienne proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 12th overall pick they get a load in the middle. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at No. 74 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jordan James
Jordan James in pick 148 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick168 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Smael Mondon Jr. at pick No. 168 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick170 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
You do not let a tight end like Oronde Gadsden II reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the 171st pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick186 Rnd6 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at slot 186 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick209 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
No edge and no loss on DJ Campbell in Round 6, Pick 34; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
