Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB
Grand theft in Round 4, Pick 9: the Cowboys steal Grant and grade out a B.

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Kenneth Grant, the No. 22 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 4 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The Smith reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In No. 12 they get a sticky cover corner, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at pick 57 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Luther Burden III
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 76th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick118 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in the 118th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
They paid a round early for Tommi Hill in slot 149, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in pick No. 171 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Clay Webb
A conviction pick on Clay Webb at Round 5, Pick 36 that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick204 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in pick No. 204 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Donovan Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Donovan Smith this early at Round 6, Pick 35. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick230 Rnd7 Davin Vann
They reached into another round for Davin Vann, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
The board fumbled Jay Higgins all the way to pick 239, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247 Rnd7 Shemar James
They did well to land Shemar James in the 247th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
