Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys found their guy under center in Ward: B+.

The search is over. The Cowboys handed the keys to Cam Ward, and the whole operation now runs on his development. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Brown pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Vinson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Cam Ward
Nothing to complain about; Cam Ward went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at No. 44 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They robbed the room for TreVeyon Henderson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the 171st pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Dont'e Thornton Jr. a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at pick No. 204 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at pick 211 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. at Round 7, Pick 23 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris slipping to No. 247 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
