Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueC- NeedB TradesF FutureB+
The Cowboys found their guy under center in Sanders: D-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent pick No. 64 on Garrett Greene, a name most had 305 spots down the list. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.

Getting King where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Whatever Shedeur Sanders becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 12 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Jalon Walker graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tate Ratledge this early at No. 44. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Garrett Greene
Garrett Greene at the 64th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick67 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
A quiet steal in pick No. 67: Alfred Collins for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
You do not let a running back like Kaleb Johnson reach the 76th pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick85 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at pick No. 85 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick96 Rnd3 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester in the 96th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
They talked themselves into Rylie Mills at pick 102, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
A premium they did not need to pay, Hollin Pierce a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
They jumped the gun on Joshua Farmer, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick119 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They will replay Demetrius Knight Jr. at Round 4, Pick 18 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick129 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in slot 129 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick134 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in the 134th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick142 Rnd5 Bam Martin-Scott
Bam Martin-Scott at pick 142 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jason Henderson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jason Henderson in the Round 5 slot, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jason Marshall Jr.
They reached into another round for Jason Marshall Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Fair-plus on Raheim Sanders, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson in the 165th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaylen Reed. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick169 Rnd5 Sav'ell Smalls
A real head-scratcher, Sav'ell Smalls in slot 169 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
A wild overpay on Luke Lachey in the 170th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Steal is underselling it; Jared Wilson at Round 5, Pick 33 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173 Rnd5 Antwane Wells Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Antwane Wells Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at pick 174 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick180 Rnd6 Shilo Sanders
A big swing on Shilo Sanders at the 180th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick181 Rnd6 Brady Cook
They reached a country mile for Brady Cook at slot 181, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick190 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
Value said wait; Hayden Conner in No. 190 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick194 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at pick No. 194 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202 Rnd6 Caden Prieskorn
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Caden Prieskorn. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Kobe King
Kobe King at pick 206 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick208 Rnd6 Lander Barton
They barely believed it either: Lander Barton still on the board at Round 6, Pick 30. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211 Rnd6 Sean Martin
They talked themselves into Sean Martin at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick216 Rnd6 Ty French
Ty French in pick No. 216 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick217 Rnd6 Joey Slackman
Joey Slackman at the 217th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick221 Rnd7 Seth Henigan
Seth Henigan in slot 221 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
They reached a country mile for Jimmy Horn Jr. at No. 227, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Will Sheppard well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick248 Rnd7 Aubrey Burks
Aubrey Burks at pick No. 248 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick249 Rnd7 Reid Carrico
A big swing on Reid Carrico at Round 7, Pick 31, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Rayuan Lane III
They went early on Rayuan Lane III in the Round 7 slot, and the value did not follow. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
