Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesD+ FutureB-
The Cowboys let Fannin Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Somebody in the 169th pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Cowboys sat still while Harold Fannin Jr., the No. 21 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty in No. 8 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick78 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick No. 113 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick136 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
The board fumbled Deontae Lawson all the way to the 136th overall pick, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick151 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
They paid sticker price for Willie Lampkin in slot 151, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd5 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at Round 5, Pick 31 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jalen Royals
They will replay Jalen Royals at pick 170 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
