Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Sarratt: B.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Elijah Sarratt, the No. 76 name on the board, in the 112th overall pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 12 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a wrecking ball inside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick92 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes in pick 92 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Elijah Sarratt
They robbed the room for Elijah Sarratt here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jakobe Thomas
Jakobe Thomas is a better player than pick No. 152 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick177 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kaleb Elarms-Orr. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
A quiet steal in slot 180: Tanner Koziol for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
