Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesA+ FutureD
The Cowboys won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

The Cowboys bet big and early on Shilo Sanders, 38 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hampton.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 14th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick15 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 15th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A slide stopped in pick 44, with Omarion Hampton worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 12, where Donovan Jackson graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
A tidy little value on Joshua Farmer in pick No. 117, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough is a better player than slot 149 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Woody Marks
Woody Marks in slot 204 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick247 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
They talked themselves into Shilo Sanders at the 247th pick, and the board did not agree. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
