Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureA+
The Cowboys robbed the room for Wheatley. Final grade: D+. The trade table was where it all came apart. The Cowboys shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.
They are betting Jamison-Travis proves the room right and everyone else wrong. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Landing Wheatley that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
In the 12th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In the 30th pick they get a three-down second-level presence at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44
Rnd2
Derrick Moore
A real head-scratcher, Derrick Moore in the Round 2 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick92
Rnd3
Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at pick No. 92 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94
Rnd3
Elijah Sarratt
The board fumbled Elijah Sarratt all the way to slot 94, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103
Rnd4
Treydan Stukes
They let Treydan Stukes come to them and pounced at pick 103. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick112
Rnd4
Zakee Wheatley
You do not let a safety like Zakee Wheatley reach pick 112 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick140
Rnd4
Beau Stephens
They went early on Beau Stephens in the 140th pick, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick152
Rnd5
Kage Casey
No drama and no debate, Kage Casey went about where he belonged in the 152nd overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick177
Rnd5
Josh Cameron
Josh Cameron in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180
Rnd5
Bobby Jamison-Travis
Bobby Jamison-Travis at slot 180 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick218
Rnd7
Noah Whittington
A straight-up fair deal on Noah Whittington at pick No. 218, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
