Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cowboys took Alfred Collins a full 59 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

The Barton steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty is a better player than the Round 1 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick61 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the 61st overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Clay Webb
Taking Clay Webb in No. 78 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Lander Barton
The board fumbled Lander Barton all the way to pick No. 125, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick153 Rnd5 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in the 153rd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jack Bech
Jack Bech in Round 5, Pick 31 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kyle Monangai
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Kyle Monangai in the 170th pick, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
This one needs a full-page explanation: T.J. Sanders in slot 189, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick208 Rnd6 Alfred Collins
They left a pile of value on the table to take Alfred Collins this early at pick No. 208. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
They reached into another round for Shilo Sanders, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor itch, scratched.
