Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Giddens from sliding. Grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. DJ Giddens at pick No. 211 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. If Pegues pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 12th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Value with a capital V on Omarion Hampton in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They robbed the room for Demetrius Knight Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in pick No. 149 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick171 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A reach on JJ Pegues in the 171st pick; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick174 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Tyler Shough in Round 5, Pick 36, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick204 Rnd6 CJ West
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at No. 204 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick211 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
They will replay DJ Giddens at pick 211 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick239 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
Somehow Chimere Dike was still sitting there in the 239th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at No. 247 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
