Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
Grand theft in slot 168: the Cowboys steal Judkins and grade out a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Quinshon Judkins, the No. 73 name on the board, stolen at Round 5, Pick 31.

The Griffith reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at slot 44 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick58 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Value with a capital V on Xavier Watts in pick No. 58, a genuine coup. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick76 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
A big swing on Hollin Pierce at the 76th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jack Bech
No edge and no loss on Jack Bech in No. 89; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick117 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith is a better player than pick 117 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
They will replay Hayden Conner at the 165th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
The board fumbled Quinshon Judkins all the way to the 168th overall pick, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick170 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
A reasonable price with a little left over, Shemar Turner in Round 5, Pick 33. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick173 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at pick 173 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick186 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
They reached a country mile for Thor Griffith at No. 186, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick191 Rnd6 Terrance Ferguson
A real head-scratcher, Terrance Ferguson in slot 191 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick209 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
Circle this one: Chris Paul Jr. at pick No. 209 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick248 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They went early on Garrett Dellinger in the 248th pick, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
