Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD- FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cowboys to a C+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cowboys reached some 88 spots for Thor Griffith, and value like that does not grow back. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

They banked enough surplus on Sanders to cover a lot of smaller sins. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
A tidy little value on Tetairoa McMillan in No. 12, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick No. 44 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
By-the-book stuff, Deontae Lawson at Round 3, Pick 12 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the 108th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
They barely believed it either: Malachi Moore still on the board at the Round 5 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick168 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in slot 168 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 CJ West
CJ West in pick No. 170 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tonka Hemingway
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tonka Hemingway well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick187 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Thor Griffith. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick227 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
They robbed the room for Raheim Sanders here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick232 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
Brant Kuithe at pick 247 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
