Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Nelson: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jack Nelson had no business being available in the Round 6 slot, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ashton Jeanty at Round 1, Pick 12. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick44 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A tidy bit of business in No. 44, where Malaki Starks graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick76 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the 76th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
They will replay Jeffrey Bassa at the 149th pick for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans in pick 171 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They took Dont'e Thornton Jr. at par in pick No. 174, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
Nice patience on Nazir Stackhouse, who had no business lasting to the Round 6 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 211 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick239 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
They barely believed it either: Trevor Etienne still on the board at pick 239. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Shemar James
Shemar James in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
