Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent pick No. 209 on Noah Thomas, a name most had 141 spots down the list.

Getting Mondon Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 12 they get an every-down engine for the run game, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
Nothing to complain about; Mykel Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jack Nelson
Value said wait; Jack Nelson in Round 3, Pick 10 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Shemar Turner well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick168 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
A wild overpay on DJ Campbell in pick 168, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
They robbed the room for Smael Mondon Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171 Rnd5 Savion Williams
They reached into another round for Savion Williams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at the 186th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Noah Thomas
A big swing on Noah Thomas at pick No. 209, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
