Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick 149 lands the Cowboys a B, Williams and all.

Somebody in slot 149 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Cowboys sat still while Savion Williams, the No. 91 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They are betting Watson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick 12 they get a load in the middle at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
They robbed the room for Matthew Golden here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dylan Sampson in slot 76. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149 Rnd5 Savion Williams
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Savion Williams in the 149th pick, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez at the 174th overall pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tommi Hill
They will replay Tommi Hill at Round 6, Pick 28 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick211 Rnd6 Kalel Mullings
You do not let a running back like Kalel Mullings reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson at pick No. 217 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 239 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Nazir Stackhouse
Circle this one: Nazir Stackhouse at Round 7, Pick 31 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
