Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys drew a line under the quarterback search with Ward: D.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cowboys took Reuben Fatheree II a full 108 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Put together, it is a D.

Landing Mondon Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.

So much rides on Cam Ward that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and wide receiver is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In slot 11 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They will replay Omarion Hampton at Round 2, Pick 10 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Harold Fannin Jr. at pick 75 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
The board fumbled Smael Mondon Jr. all the way to the 108th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Circle this one: Billy Bowman Jr. at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick169 Rnd5 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone in the 169th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jaeden Roberts reach Round 5, Pick 32 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Connor Colby
They read the board right and Connor Colby was the payoff at the 171st pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
Taking Le'Veon Moss in No. 186 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick209 Rnd6 Collin Oliver
They reached a country mile for Collin Oliver at slot 209, and the board is aghast. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick223 Rnd7 Reuben Fatheree II
They reached into another round for Reuben Fatheree II, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
