Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Paul Jr.: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Chris Paul Jr. slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at pick 209. Highway robbery. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

Mesidor has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Zack Moss deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In slot 17 they get a wrecking ball inside at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Circle this one: Omarion Hampton at Round 2, Pick 12 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick49 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
You do not let a wide receiver like Emeka Egbuka reach pick 49 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Taking Dylan Fairchild in the 76th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick148 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
The board fumbled Danny Stutsman all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at the 152nd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at No. 168 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jabbar Muhammad
They will replay Jabbar Muhammad at pick No. 170 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick173 Rnd5 Tonka Hemingway
A real head-scratcher, Tonka Hemingway in pick 173 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick186 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
They barely believed it either: Sonny Styles still on the board at the 186th overall pick. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick209 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
Somehow Chris Paul Jr. was still sitting there in No. 209, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor in Round 7, Pick 31 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
