Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA FutureA
The Cowboys robbed the room for Martinez. Final grade: A-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Damien Martinez, the No. 162 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 211.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Dallas Turner gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Walter Nolen and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 24th pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
No drama and no debate, Aireontae Ersery went about where he belonged in the 44th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson is a better player than pick No. 76 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick150 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Nick Nash at slot 170 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick172 Rnd5 Lander Barton
Lander Barton in pick 172 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson in No. 174 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick190 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Value with a capital V on Quincy Riley in Round 6, Pick 12, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick211 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
Steal is underselling it; Damien Martinez at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
They will replay Ja'Corey Brooks at the 249th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
