Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jimmy Horn Jr. at Round 5, Pick 33 regardless, 127 picks early. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Walker. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a featured back, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at the 44th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in No. 76 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
They talked themselves into Shemar Turner at pick No. 148, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick168 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
A real head-scratcher, DJ Campbell in pick 168 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kobe Hudson
They reached a country mile for Kobe Hudson at Round 5, Pick 34, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick187 Rnd6 Garrett Dellinger
They reached into another round for Garrett Dellinger, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick209 Rnd6 PJ Williams
PJ Williams in pick No. 209 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
