Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
B
ValueA
NeedB-
TradesF
FutureA+
The Cowboys robbed the room for Sadiq. Final grade: B. The rest of the league will want that one back. Kenyon Sadiq tumbling to the Cowboys in slot 218 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. No fireworks, but a solid B.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
David Bailey
In the 12th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge. More want than need.
Pick95
Rnd3
Mansoor Delane
The board fumbled Mansoor Delane all the way to the 95th pick, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick107
Rnd4
Sonny Styles
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Sonny Styles in No. 107, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick110
Rnd4
Jordyn Tyson
Jordyn Tyson in slot 110 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick112
Rnd4
Spencer Fano
They will replay Spencer Fano at pick No. 112 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146
Rnd5
Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor in Round 5, Pick 6 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick149
Rnd5
Chase Bisontis
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152
Rnd5
Kayden McDonald
Somehow Kayden McDonald was still sitting there in pick 152, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171
Rnd5
Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. at slot 171 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick177
Rnd5
Romello Height
Romello Height in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick180
Rnd5
Lee Hunter
Circle this one: Lee Hunter at pick No. 180 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202
Rnd6
Jermod McCoy
They robbed the room for Jermod McCoy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick218
Rnd7
Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq at No. 218 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick221
Rnd7
Keyron Crawford
Keyron Crawford at pick 221 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick226
Rnd7
Kaytron Allen
Steal is underselling it; Kaytron Allen at Round 7, Pick 10 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
