Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The Cowboys clearly saw something nobody else did in Hayden Conner, taking him 105 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

The Wilson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 17 they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
They barely believed it either: Shavon Revel Jr. still on the board at the 44th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the linebacker. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Steal is underselling it; Alfred Collins at pick No. 76 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hayden Conner this early at the 149th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
A reach on Jake Briningstool in pick 153; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Circle this one: Jared Wilson at the 171st pick is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith in pick 174 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
