Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Oluwafemi Oladejo in the 152nd pick, a good 84 spots before the room expected him.

That Alexander pick is the receipt they will wave around later. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
No edge and no loss on Matthew Golden in pick No. 12; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick58 Rnd2 Dylan Sampson
They took Dylan Sampson at par in the 58th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at pick 76 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Donovan Jackson in slot 89. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick116 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in the 116th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick127 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
A slide stopped in No. 127, with Kyle McCord worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Terrance Ferguson
The board fumbled Terrance Ferguson all the way to the 150th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick152 Rnd5 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A big swing on Oluwafemi Oladejo at slot 152, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick167 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Darius Alexander in Round 5, Pick 28, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick170 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
By-the-book stuff, Willie Lampkin at the 170th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick172 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 172 with a little surplus value in Ajani Cornelius. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
They paid a round early for Jay Higgins in No. 174, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick190 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
Value with a capital V on Kyle Williams in pick 211, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249 Rnd7 Quinn Carroll
This one needs a full-page explanation: Quinn Carroll in pick 249, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
