Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA- FutureC
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Cowboys.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Arian Smith in No. 247, a good 118 spots before the room expected him. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Mondon Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 12th pick they get a premier pass rusher at fair value.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Good price on Tyleik Williams in the 57th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Warren at pick No. 76 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Somehow Andrew Mukuba was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 25, and they pounced on premier safety value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick98 Rnd3 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in No. 98 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at pick 99 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
No edge and no loss on Cam Skattebo in pick 115; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
Taking Nicholas Singleton in Round 5, Pick 11 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Smael Mondon Jr. reach the 168th pick and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Miles Frazier well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at pick No. 171 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick187 Rnd6 J.C. Davis
Value said wait; J.C. Davis in slot 187 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick209 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Arian Smith
Arian Smith at the 247th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
