Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D+.

The Cowboys bet big and early on Shemar Turner, 98 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The Sanders pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Walter Nolen. The roster fit checks out.
Pick42 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the 42nd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Tyler Booker in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ajani Cornelius in Round 3, Pick 11, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
No drama and no debate, Tez Johnson went about where he belonged in No. 77. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick107 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
They reached a country mile for Shemar Turner at slot 107, and the board is aghast. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick113 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Somehow Danny Stutsman was still sitting there in slot 113, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149 Rnd5 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick No. 149 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
A reach on Xavier Nwankpa in Round 5, Pick 31; the board had better options right there. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick170 Rnd5 Theo Wease Jr.
A conviction pick on Theo Wease Jr. at No. 170 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at pick 171 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick186 Rnd6 J.Michael Sturdivant
J.Michael Sturdivant at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Kevin Winston Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Kevin Winston Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick227 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Steal is underselling it; Raheim Sanders at the 227th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
