Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the C- tells the story.

Nobody else had Taylen Green anywhere near the Round 5 slot. The Cowboys did, by 103 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

They banked enough surplus on Singleton to cover a lot of smaller sins. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

If Abdul Carter and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In slot 12 they get a problem off the edge. More want than need.
Pick44 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the Round 2 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in Round 3, Pick 8 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
A real head-scratcher, Elic Ayomanor in the 76th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Somehow Danny Stutsman was still sitting there in No. 113, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at pick No. 150 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick169 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
They barely believed it either: Nicholas Singleton still on the board at the 169th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick170 Rnd5 J.Michael Sturdivant
This one needs a full-page explanation: J.Michael Sturdivant in the Round 5 slot, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at the 171st pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick188 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in slot 188 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick209 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
A quiet steal in No. 209: Xavier Nwankpa for less than the market said. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
