Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Grand theft in the Round 6 slot: the Cowboys steal Smith and grade out a A.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Brashard Smith got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at the Round 6 slot.

The Simon reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 31st overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
They robbed the room for Emeka Egbuka here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Alfred Collins reach pick 76 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick81 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
They read the board right and Quinshon Judkins was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 17. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick97 Rnd3 Sai'vion Jones
They talked themselves into Sai'vion Jones at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They let Jake Majors come to them and pounced at pick No. 117. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick119 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at slot 119 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Circle this one: Jordan Phillips at No. 129 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick133 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in pick No. 133 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke is a better player than No. 149 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
This one needs a full-page explanation: Hayden Conner in the Round 5 slot, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Brashard Smith
Somehow Brashard Smith was still sitting there in the 204th overall pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in the 211th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick239 Rnd7 Joshua Simon
They reached a country mile for Joshua Simon at Round 7, Pick 23, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
The board fumbled Cam Jackson all the way to pick 247, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
