Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys let Henderson fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: TreVeyon Henderson, the No. 60 name on the board, stolen at the Round 5 slot. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They are betting Caldwell proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In slot 12 they get a double-digit-sack hope. Need was not the driver here.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Taking Kenneth Grant in Round 2, Pick 12 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
The board fumbled Tyler Warren all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
Somehow TreVeyon Henderson was still sitting there in pick 148, and they pounced on premier running back value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
They barely believed it either: Kalel Mullings still on the board at the 168th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at the 170th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173 Rnd5 Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson at pick No. 173 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tonka Hemingway well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at the 209th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
They will replay Jordan Hancock at pick No. 248 for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
