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

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Cowboys did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

On value alone, Collins makes the weekend a net positive. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

The Vinson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They read the board right and Omarion Hampton was the payoff at pick No. 44. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in slot 76 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Will Howard
Fair-plus on Will Howard, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick145 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon slipping to pick 145 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in Round 5, Pick 11 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick171 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A conviction pick on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 5 slot that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
A premium they did not need to pay, Vernon Broughton a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick204 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at No. 204 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick207 Rnd6 Addison West
Addison West at the 207th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on R.J. Mickens. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick239 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at pick 239 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jermari Harris in slot 247, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
