Draft Grade — Cowboys

FutureB-
The Cowboys land in the muddy middle: C+. The Tate Ratledge selection is the head-turner. The Cowboys reached 26 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.
A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
If Omarion Hampton and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Omarion Hampton
They talked themselves into Omarion Hampton at Round 1, Pick 12, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick44
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 44th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76
Rnd3
Savion Williams
Savion Williams at pick 76 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
