Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Cowboys found their guy under center in Sellers: D+.

The Cowboys bet big and early on Anto Saka, 32 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Everything downstream of LaNorris Sellers depends on LaNorris Sellers, and the building knows it.

The Wheatley pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with cornerback and tight end still on the board. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Boston.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 LaNorris Sellers
In pick No. 15 they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick19 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In pick 19 they get a featured back at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick31 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 31st overall pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Denzel Boston
Denzel Boston in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick52 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Nothing to complain about; Sonny Styles went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at Round 3, Pick 10 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick77 Rnd3 Nyck Harbor
Nyck Harbor at slot 77 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick79 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Zakee Wheatley adds a safety and leaves cornerback and tight end untouched.
Pick83 Rnd3 Anto Saka
Anto Saka at pick No. 83 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick99 Rnd3 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went edge rusher with Kenyatta Jackson Jr. while clear needs at cornerback and tight end sat open.
Pick110 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
A quiet steal in No. 110: Nicholas Singleton for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick115 Rnd4 Deion Burks
Deion Burks in the Round 4 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Nico Iamaleava
Nico Iamaleava in Round 5, Pick 15 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick176 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Fair-plus on Aamil Wagner, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick179 Rnd5 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at the 179th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jordan Castell
Jordan Castell at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick233 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
This one needs a full-page explanation: J. Michael Sturdivant in slot 233, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
