Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys let Hampton fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

When a board-topper like Omarion Hampton slides to pick No. 44, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in slot 44 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Good price on Deone Walker in pick No. 76, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
