Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Cowboys this weekend: B+.

Nobody had Hayden Conner this high, and it is not close. The Cowboys reached 32 spots to get him at pick 239. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Getting Judkins where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Adding Justin Strnad by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Nothing to complain about; Tyleik Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick51 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at slot 51 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jack Bech
A slide stopped in the 76th pick, with Jack Bech worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick85 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Quinshon Judkins in pick No. 85, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
A straight-up fair deal on O'Donnell Fortune at Round 5, Pick 11, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten is a better player than the 174th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in No. 204 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick208 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
They paid sticker price for Nazir Stackhouse in slot 208, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick211 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
They paid a round early for R.J. Mickens in pick 211, more than the board wanted. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick217 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A big swing on Isaac TeSlaa at the 217th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at pick No. 239 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick247 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Donovan Smith. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
