Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureB-
The Cowboys land in the muddy middle: C+. Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Cowboys never addressed wide receiver, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. A mixed bag that lands at C+.
Every board in the league had Hampton lower, and that gap is the story. They went 1 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
The skill positions did well by the weekend.
Hit on Omarion Hampton and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Omarion Hampton
In slot 12 they get a bell-cow for the offense, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick44
Rnd2
Kaleb Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Kaleb Johnson at the 44th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
