Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cowboys to a D-. The Princewill Umanmielen pick is the one that will follow the Cowboys into the fall. They took him 52 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Put together, it is a D-.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Spending an early pick on edge rusher with tight end open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is McNeil-Warren.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Caleb Banks
In slot 18 they get juice off the edge, though they paid up to get him.
Pick20
Rnd1
Anthony Hill Jr.
In pick 20 they get the heartbeat of the defense, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40
Rnd2
Sonny Styles
Fair-plus on Sonny Styles, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick43
Rnd2
Dani Dennis-Sutton
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 43 on Dani Dennis-Sutton with tight end unsolved.
Pick49
Rnd2
Austin Siereveld
They reached a country mile for Austin Siereveld at the Round 2 slot, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at No. 87 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97
Rnd3
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Taking Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in pick No. 97 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick112
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
They took Tacario Davis at par in the 112th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick151
Rnd5
Taylen Green
A big swing on Taylen Green at the 151st overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick178
Rnd5
Princewill Umanmielen
Princewill Umanmielen at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick215
Rnd6
Jalen Catalon
A real head-scratcher, Jalen Catalon in pick 215 is miles ahead of his ranking. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick221
Rnd7
J. Michael Sturdivant
No drama and no debate, J. Michael Sturdivant went about where he belonged in No. 221. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall in slot 225 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
