Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 148th overall pick: the Cowboys steal Henderson and grade out a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let TreVeyon Henderson slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at the 148th pick. Highway robbery. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The Jefferson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In slot 12 they get a bendy edge with upside, and a steal at that.
Pick44 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They barely believed it either: Malaki Starks still on the board at No. 44. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick76 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
A slide stopped in pick 76, with Xavier Restrepo worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at pick No. 148 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick168 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at the 170th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Kobe King
Kobe King at Round 5, Pick 36 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Mac McWilliams
They reached a country mile for Mac McWilliams at the 186th pick, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick209 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Circle this one: Oronde Gadsden II at the 209th pick is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick248 Rnd7 KJ Jefferson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for KJ Jefferson. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
