Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureC
Larceny in the Round 2 slot lands the Cowboys a B-, Hampton and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Omarion Hampton had no business being available in the 51st overall pick, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They are betting Thornton Jr. proves the room right and everyone else wrong. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
They let Tetairoa McMillan come to them and pounced at the Round 1 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick44 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos in slot 44 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick51 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They robbed the room for Omarion Hampton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
By-the-book stuff, Jared Ivey at pick No. 76 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
They read the board right and Tyler Shough was the payoff at the 149th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 171st pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They paid a round early for JJ Pegues in Round 5, Pick 36, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick204 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens in No. 204 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick211 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at the 211th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
No drama and no debate, Teddye Buchanan went about where he belonged in pick No. 247. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
