Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent the 197th overall pick on Jamon Dumas-Johnson, a name most had 57 spots down the list. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

On value alone, Campbell makes the weekend a net positive. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Will Johnson
Will Johnson at No. 20 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A quiet steal in slot 44: Jihaad Campbell for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick51 Rnd2 Quinshon Judkins
A reach on Quinshon Judkins in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick 76 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Value said wait; Emery Jones Jr. in the 122nd overall pick says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Nick Nash
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nick Nash. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They paid a round early for JJ Pegues in slot 174, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the 191st pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jamon Dumas-Johnson well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick204 Rnd6 Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson in pick No. 204 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick211 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
No edge and no loss on Donovan Edwards in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone at pick 217 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Brady Cook
They reached into another round for Brady Cook, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick247 Rnd7 Nick Martin
A big swing on Nick Martin at Round 7, Pick 31, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
