Draft Grade — Cowboys

FutureB-
The Cowboys robbed the room for Beck. Final grade: D. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Carson Beck, the No. 42 name on the board, stolen at Round 5, Pick 13. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.
Sanders has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and cornerback is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Tre Harris
Good price on Tre Harris in pick 13, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick35
Rnd2
Cameron Williams
No drama and no debate, Cameron Williams went about where he belonged in the 35th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick44
Rnd2
Abdul Carter
Nothing to complain about; Abdul Carter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick45
Rnd2
Isaiah Bond
They let Isaiah Bond come to them and pounced at pick No. 45. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77
Rnd3
Ollie Gordon II
A conviction pick on Ollie Gordon II at Round 3, Pick 13 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick105
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. is a better player than No. 105 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick113
Rnd4
Lander Barton
Lander Barton in slot 113 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick151
Rnd5
Carson Beck
Carson Beck at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169
Rnd5
Blake Miller
You do not let an offensive lineman like Blake Miller reach pick No. 169 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170
Rnd5
LT Overton
By-the-book stuff, LT Overton at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick172
Rnd5
Shilo Sanders
This one needs a full-page explanation: Shilo Sanders in slot 172, miles early. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick188
Rnd6
Jaydn Ott
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaydn Ott this early at Round 6, Pick 13. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick209
Rnd6
Jamaree Caldwell
A big swing on Jamaree Caldwell at No. 209, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
