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

The Cowboys torched the value chart for Anthony Lucas, taking him 44 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Put together, it is a D.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. It is not that Banks is a bad player; it is that the Cowboys had louder needs to answer first. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

The Cowboys clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick12 Rnd1 Gennings Dunker
In pick 12 they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
They liked Anthony Hill Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 16. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick20 Rnd1 Caleb Banks
A curious use of No. 20. Quarterback and tight end needed the pick; an edge rusher in Caleb Banks did not.
Pick33 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick47 Rnd2 Anthony Lucas
Of all the spots to shop, they chose edge rusher. Anthony Lucas in the 47th pick leaves quarterback and tight end for later.
Pick60 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
A tidy little value on A.J. Haulcy in No. 60, a step better than break-even. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick75 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
A surprising call. With quarterback and tight end still to address, they spent pick 75 on Zakee Wheatley, a safety they were not short of.
Pick87 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in Round 3, Pick 23 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
They jumped the gun on Tacario Davis, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick112 Rnd4 Tim Keenan III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tim Keenan III this early at slot 112. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick150 Rnd5 Lander Barton
They paid a round early for Lander Barton in the 150th pick, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick177 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton in pick No. 177 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick215 Rnd6 J. Michael Sturdivant
They took J. Michael Sturdivant at par in the 215th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216 Rnd6 Fernando Carmona
By-the-book stuff, Fernando Carmona at the 216th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
They reached a country mile for Jordan Hall at the 221st pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225 Rnd7 Colbie Young
Colbie Young at Round 7, Pick 9 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
