Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Cowboys.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cowboys would have aced it. Eric Gregory at pick No. 150 is 121 spots clear of where he belonged.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Bryant pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 12th pick they get a lead back with juice, outstanding value to boot.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker is a better player than pick No. 76 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick150 Rnd5 Eric Gregory
Value said wait; Eric Gregory in No. 150 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Antwane Wells Jr.
A conviction pick on Antwane Wells Jr. at Round 5, Pick 31 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah in slot 172 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
No drama and no debate, JJ Pegues went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick190 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cobee Bryant at the 190th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick211 Rnd6 Craig Woodson
Fair-plus on Craig Woodson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick249 Rnd7 Clay Webb
They read the board right and Clay Webb was the payoff at slot 249. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
