Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureA
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Judkins: B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Quinshon Judkins got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at the Round 5 slot. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The cost of the Thornton Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mykel Williams at the 33rd pick is the proof. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick44 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 44 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 67th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick76 Rnd3 Josh Simmons
They will replay Josh Simmons at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Quinshon Judkins in Round 5, Pick 11, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jaylin Lane
The board fumbled Jaylin Lane all the way to slot 159, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Dont'e Thornton Jr. at No. 171, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
Nothing to complain about; DJ Giddens went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick200 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
No drama and no debate, Joshua Gray went about where he belonged in pick No. 200. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Steal is underselling it; Cody Simon at No. 204 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick211 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
They barely believed it either: Kyle Williams still on the board at the 211th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Sam Brown Jr.
Sam Brown Jr. at Round 7, Pick 31 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
