Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys let Ward fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Cam Ward, the No. 50 name on the board, sitting there at the 191st pick like a gift left on the doorstep. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Reaching for Collins left real value on the table behind him. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In pick 26 they get a rangy last line of defense at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick63 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
They barely believed it either: Ashton Jeanty still on the board at the 63rd pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick90 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
Taking Ajani Cornelius in slot 90 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Shemar Turner worth more than the price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick127 Rnd4 Lander Barton
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 127 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick154 Rnd5 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the 154th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick186 Rnd6 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at Round 6, Pick 26 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick191 Rnd6 Cam Ward
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Cam Ward in No. 191, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
