Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Cowboys get a C+.

Nobody else had Jarquez Hunter anywhere near the 170th overall pick. The Cowboys did, by 157 spots, and that gap is the whole story. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Lawson. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

If Xavier Watts and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Xavier Watts
In slot 16 they get a rangy last line of defense, reach and all. Need was not the driver here.
Pick47 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in pick 47 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick78 Rnd3 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon slipping to the 78th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick117 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick153 Rnd5 Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard at pick No. 153 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169 Rnd5 Haynes King
Haynes King in No. 169 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jarquez Hunter
A real head-scratcher, Jarquez Hunter in slot 170 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171 Rnd5 Alfred Collins
They talked themselves into Alfred Collins at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick189 Rnd6 Terrance Ferguson
A big swing on Terrance Ferguson at pick 189, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. at the 208th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
