Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
Larceny in pick 180 lands the Cowboys a B+, Sadiq and all.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cowboys were there to profit. Kenyon Sadiq, the No. 19 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 180. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 20 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 David Bailey
David Bailey in No. 49 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick105 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
You do not let a linebacker like Sonny Styles reach Round 4, Pick 5 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 Spencer Fano
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Spencer Fano in the 112th overall pick, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jermod McCoy
Steal is underselling it; Jermod McCoy at slot 145 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jordyn Tyson
Jordyn Tyson at the 152nd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177 Rnd5 Kayden McDonald
They will replay Kayden McDonald at pick 177 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180 Rnd5 Kenyon Sadiq
They barely believed it either: Kenyon Sadiq still on the board at pick No. 180. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick196 Rnd6 Michael Taaffe
A safety of that caliber at the 196th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick218 Rnd7 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis in No. 218 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
