Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA
Ward is the plan now, and the Cowboys grade out a D.

Somebody in pick 209 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Cowboys sat still while Smael Mondon Jr., the No. 106 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.

They will need Nelson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Cam Ward is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, wide receiver very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the 2nd pick they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a workhorse for the backfield, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They barely believed it either: Jalon Walker still on the board at the Round 2 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at No. 76 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at the 148th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in pick 168 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Taking Jake Majors in the 170th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick171 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Somehow Cody Simon was still sitting there in slot 171, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick187 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
A tidy little value on Nazir Stackhouse in Round 6, Pick 12, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick209 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in pick No. 209 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick247 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
They robbed the room for Terrance Ferguson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
