Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

The phones were a trap the Cowboys kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. Put together, it is a D-.

The cost of the Kamara reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They banked enough surplus on Stukes to cover a lot of smaller sins.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In slot 12 they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick20 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Sonny Styles in pick No. 20. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick57 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
A reasonable price with a little left over, A.J. Haulcy in the Round 2 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick60 Rnd2 Christen Miller
A straight-up fair deal on Christen Miller at the 60th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick92 Rnd3 Bryce Lance
No edge and no loss on Bryce Lance in pick 92; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
They robbed the room for Treydan Stukes here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112 Rnd4 Keyshaun Elliott
Keyshaun Elliott in Round 4, Pick 12 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 Mikail Kamara
Value said wait; Mikail Kamara in No. 129 says they were not listening. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick152 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
The board had cheaper options than Beau Stephens at Round 5, Pick 12, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
A premium they did not need to pay, Keagen Trost a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180 Rnd5 Matt Gulbin
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Matt Gulbin. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick218 Rnd7 Bobby Jamison-Travis
No drama and no debate, Bobby Jamison-Travis went about where he belonged in pick 218. A need, and now a little less of one.
