Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
The Cowboys answered their biggest question with Sanders. Grade: D-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Deontae Lawson tumbling to the Cowboys in pick No. 168 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Put together, it is a D-.

Shedeur Sanders gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In No. 2 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick3 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
No edge and no loss on Tetairoa McMillan in pick No. 3; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick6 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton slipping to the 34th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
Steal is underselling it; Tyleik Williams at slot 76 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick93 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
The board fumbled Dylan Fairchild all the way to No. 93, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Quinshon Judkins in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick168 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
They barely believed it either: Deontae Lawson still on the board at pick 168. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in the 170th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner in pick No. 173 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
