Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
Larceny in Round 5, Pick 33 lands the Cowboys a D, Simon and all.

The Cowboys lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. On value alone, Simon makes the weekend a net positive.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 6th overall pick they get juice off the edge at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick12 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In No. 12 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, and a steal at that.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A tidy little value on Jihaad Campbell in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Isaiah Bond in the 73rd pick, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They barely believed it either: TreVeyon Henderson still on the board at pick 76. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick120 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in pick No. 120 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Somehow Jack Nelson was still sitting there in the 150th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Steal is underselling it; Cody Simon at the 172nd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson in No. 174 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick190 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
No drama and no debate, KeAndre Lambert-Smith went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick211 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey is a better player than Round 6, Pick 33 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick249 Rnd7 Clay Webb
They took Clay Webb at par in slot 249, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
