Tug DRAFTING FOR THECowboys
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Cowboys

FutureB-
Judkins should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B. When a board-topper like Quinshon Judkins slides to No. 168, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not.
A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. Hemingway has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a lead back with juice at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick45
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at No. 45 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jihaad Campbell
The board fumbled Jihaad Campbell all the way to Round 3, Pick 12, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick151
Rnd5
Jake Majors
Steal is underselling it; Jake Majors at pick No. 151 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick168
Rnd5
Quinshon Judkins
You do not let a running back like Quinshon Judkins reach the 168th overall pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick170
Rnd5
Kevin Winston Jr.
Somehow Kevin Winston Jr. was still sitting there in slot 170, and they pounced on premier safety value. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick171
Rnd5
Smael Mondon Jr.
They barely believed it either: Smael Mondon Jr. still on the board at pick 171. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick189
Rnd6
Jaeden Roberts
Taking Jaeden Roberts in the 189th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick209
Rnd6
Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway in Round 6, Pick 34 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick248
Rnd7
Brant Kuithe
Brant Kuithe at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
