Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B+.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent the 135th overall pick on Anthony Belton, a name most had 127 spots down the list.

Winston Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In pick 24 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
They robbed the room for Isaiah Bond here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick55 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They barely believed it either: Omarion Hampton still on the board at pick No. 55. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick79 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
The board fumbled Malaki Starks all the way to the 79th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick100 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the 100th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
They reached a country mile for Anthony Belton at No. 135, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick150 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Taking Danny Stutsman in Round 5, Pick 12 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ar'maj Reed-Adams in the 169th overall pick, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in No. 170 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Circle this one: Kevin Winston Jr. at the 171st pick is a fall that decides a draft. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick190 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Raheim Sanders in slot 190, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at the Round 7 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
