Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

Nobody else had Will Sheppard anywhere near No. 209. The Cowboys did, by 91 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

Spears-Jennings at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A quiet steal in slot 42: Tate Ratledge for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
They barely believed it either: Omarion Hampton still on the board at pick No. 75. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick114 Rnd4 Dontay Corleone
They took Dontay Corleone at par in the 114th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Robert Spears-Jennings
The board fumbled Robert Spears-Jennings all the way to No. 149, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick169 Rnd5 Harold Perkins Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Harold Perkins Jr. in the 169th pick, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in Round 5, Pick 32 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at pick 171 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
They will replay Raheim Sanders at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick209 Rnd6 Will Sheppard
They talked themselves into Will Sheppard at pick No. 209, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
