Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 6, Pick 14: the Cowboys steal Skattebo and grade out a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Cam Skattebo tumbling to the Cowboys in the Round 6 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

Reaching for Thornton Jr. left real value on the table behind him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
They paid up for Emeka Egbuka at No. 13 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at pick 78 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wild overpay on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 148, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
Somehow Nicholas Singleton was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 31, and they pounced on premier running back value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick170 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
They robbed the room for Sonny Styles here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick171 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the 171st pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at the 189th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick209 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
No drama and no debate, DJ Campbell went about where he belonged in pick No. 209. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at pick 248 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
