Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureA+
Nothing loud, just a tidy B+ for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys clearly saw something nobody else did in Shemar James, taking him 30 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Thornton Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A tidy little value on Emeka Egbuka in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick44 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A conviction pick on TreVeyon Henderson at pick 44 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Steal is underselling it; Azareye'h Thomas at pick No. 76 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jah Joyner
A reach on Jah Joyner in the 149th pick; the board had better options right there. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
The board had Tommi Hill higher than Round 5, Pick 33, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
They paid up for Vernon Broughton at No. 174 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick204 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 204th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211 Rnd6 Shemar James
A wild overpay on Shemar James in pick 211, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw at the 216th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick239 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ja'Quinden Jackson at pick No. 239. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247 Rnd7 John Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, John Williams well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
