Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Mickens should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B.

Call it larceny. R.J. Mickens sat on the board until the Round 7 slot, and the Cowboys did not need to be asked twice.

Watson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 12 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton slid further than he should have, and pick No. 45 is lovely value for the running back. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A straight-up fair deal on Darien Porter at the 76th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick117 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron in the 149th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They liked Dont'e Thornton Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 174. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in Round 6, Pick 28 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick211 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
They paid sticker price for Joshua Gray in slot 211, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Desmond Watson. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick239 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
Circle this one: R.J. Mickens at No. 239 is a fall that decides a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick247 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
They took CJ Dippre at par in slot 247, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
