Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The phones sank the Cowboys this weekend: C.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent the 204th overall pick on Brady Cook, a name most had 77 spots down the list.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

That Nolen pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in No. 44 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick57 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A straight-up fair deal on TreVeyon Henderson at the 57th pick, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick74 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Xavier Restrepo in the 74th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at pick No. 111 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick123 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams in pick 123 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick140 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
A real head-scratcher, Seth McLaughlin in pick 140 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in the 149th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick159 Rnd5 James Burnip
They paid sticker price for James Burnip in the 159th pick, and that is fine. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick171 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They jumped the gun on Dont'e Thornton Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick204 Rnd6 Brady Cook
They talked themselves into Brady Cook at pick No. 204, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
Kitan Crawford at No. 250 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
