Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

Somebody took the Cowboys to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

Sturdivant has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. Getting Styles where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 14th pick they get a ballhawk on the back end at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick24 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
Matayo Uiagalelei at the 24th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick65 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles slid further than he should have, and pick No. 65 is lovely value for the linebacker. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68 Rnd3 Xavier Chaplin
They jumped the gun on Xavier Chaplin, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick114 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kaytron Allen at Round 4, Pick 14. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick154 Rnd5 Nico Iamaleava
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nico Iamaleava. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick176 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in pick 176 is fair value, right on his grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick219 Rnd7 DeAndre Moore Jr.
They took DeAndre Moore Jr. at par in No. 219, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick231 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
A real head-scratcher, J. Michael Sturdivant in the 231st pick is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
