Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Cowboys robbed the room for Howard. Final grade: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Will Howard tumbling to the Cowboys in the 149th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In slot 14 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, and a steal at that.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at Round 2, Pick 12 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 76th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149 Rnd5 Will Howard
They barely believed it either: Will Howard still on the board at the Round 5 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick151 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Somehow Cody Simon was still sitting there in the 151st overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at pick No. 171 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at No. 174 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick204 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Nice patience on Oronde Gadsden II, who had no business lasting to pick 204. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Addison West
By-the-book stuff, Addison West at the 211th pick squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A conviction pick on Teddye Buchanan at the Round 7 slot that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns at pick No. 247 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
