Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys robbed the room for Belton. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Anthony Belton, pick 149, roughly 39 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. The Broughton reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a workhorse for the backfield at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Somehow Kenneth Grant was still sitting there in Round 2, Pick 12, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Demetrius Knight Jr. in No. 76, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
You do not let an offensive lineman like Anthony Belton reach the 149th overall pick and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick171 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
They jumped the gun on Vernon Broughton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin in the 174th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 204 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
A reasonable price with a little left over, Nazir Stackhouse in pick No. 211. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick239 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at pick 239 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Corey Kiner
A quiet steal in slot 247: Corey Kiner for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
