Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Judkins: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Quinshon Judkins, pick No. 172, roughly 102 picks past where he belonged.

If Griffith pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mike Green
Mike Green at Round 1, Pick 12 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jihaad Campbell in the 44th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Fair-plus on Jack Bech, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at slot 150 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at No. 170 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick172 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
They will replay Quinshon Judkins at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at the 174th pick is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
No edge and no loss on Jaylen Reed in pick No. 190; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick211 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at pick 211 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thor Griffith in slot 249, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
