Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueA- NeedB TradesD+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for King: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Kobe King at Round 7, Pick 31 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Conner reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 18 they get a lead back with juice at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in pick No. 44 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Taking Omarion Hampton in slot 76 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick103 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in the Round 4 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jack Nelson
They paid up for Jack Nelson at Round 4, Pick 13 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick137 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
Circle this one: TreVeyon Henderson at the 137th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick170 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
They robbed the room for Darius Alexander here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater in No. 172 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
They barely believed it either: Chris Paul Jr. still on the board at pick No. 173. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at No. 174 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick190 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at the 190th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick249 Rnd7 Kobe King
Kobe King at Round 7, Pick 31 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
