Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B-.

Nobody else had Gerry Bohanon anywhere near Round 7, Pick 31. The Cowboys did, by 187 spots, and that gap is the whole story. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Gadsden II. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Taking Omarion Hampton in No. 44 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They let TreVeyon Henderson come to them and pounced at the 76th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
They reached a country mile for Hollin Pierce at pick No. 85, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick120 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Value with a capital V on Savion Williams in the 120th overall pick, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
The board fumbled Sonny Styles all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick168 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Circle this one: Smael Mondon Jr. at the 168th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
Steal is underselling it; Mason Taylor at pick 170 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick173 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in Round 5, Pick 36 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
The board had cheaper options than DJ Campbell at the 186th pick, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick209 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at pick No. 209 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick247 Rnd7 Gerry Bohanon
A big swing on Gerry Bohanon at No. 247, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
