Draft Grade — Cowboys

FutureB-
The Cowboys let Majors fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. The Cowboys did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jake Majors fell into the Round 5 slot. No fireworks, but a solid B.
The Griffith pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.
Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Luther Burden III
In pick 13 they get a home-run threat at receiver, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
T.J. Sanders
Fair-plus on T.J. Sanders, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick77
Rnd3
Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in Round 3, Pick 13 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick113
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
Somehow Smael Mondon Jr. was still sitting there in No. 113, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick151
Rnd5
Jake Majors
They will replay Jake Majors at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170
Rnd5
Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at the 170th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick172
Rnd5
Danny Stutsman
Circle this one: Danny Stutsman at pick No. 172 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick188
Rnd6
Thor Griffith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thor Griffith in the 188th pick, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick209
Rnd6
Xavier Truss
A big swing on Xavier Truss at No. 209, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
