Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B

More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it.

The Cowboys spent real capital to be 80 picks early on Jaydon Blue, and the board is going to hold them to it.

Landing Williams that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Johnson
Nothing to complain about; Will Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jihaad Campbell in pick 44. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker is a better player than slot 76 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150 Rnd5 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at No. 150 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Taking Kyle McCord in pick No. 172 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
They will replay Jeffrey Bassa at pick 174 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick190 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II slid further than he should have, and Round 6, Pick 12 is lovely value for the running back. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick211 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ty Hamilton this early at slot 211. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jaydon Blue
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaydon Blue well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
