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

There is reaching, and then there is Vincent Anthony Jr. at the 90th pick. The Cowboys jumped the board by 82 and dared it to prove them wrong. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The Anthony Jr. pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback and tight end still on the board. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks in the 18th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick20 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at No. 40 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick49 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
Caleb Tiernan at slot 49 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
A tidy little value on Zakee Wheatley in pick No. 75, a step better than break-even. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick83 Rnd3 Julian Neal
They let Julian Neal come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 19. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at No. 87 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90 Rnd3 Vincent Anthony Jr.
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went edge rusher with Vincent Anthony Jr. while clear needs at quarterback and tight end sat open.
Pick112 Rnd4 Caden Curry
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Caden Curry adds an edge rusher and leaves quarterback and tight end untouched.
Pick150 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
They paid sticker price for Chase Roberts in the 150th overall pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jordan Hall
A wild overpay on Jordan Hall in pick 177, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick215 Rnd6 Kamran James
Kamran James at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick221 Rnd7 Isaac Smith
A straight-up fair deal on Isaac Smith at slot 221, value and slot in agreement. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick225 Rnd7 Tony Rojas
They reached a country mile for Tony Rojas at pick No. 225, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
