Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureA+
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Sanders from sliding. Grade: D. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Tyler Batty, 97 picks early at pick No. 209. The math is unkind, and the D follows.
The Sanders value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In the 6th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick12
Rnd1
Cameron Williams
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37
Rnd2
Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in pick 37 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick44
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
Value said wait; Donovan Jackson in No. 44 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68
Rnd3
Tez Johnson
They reached a country mile for Tez Johnson at the 68th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick73
Rnd3
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in Round 3, Pick 9 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick74
Rnd3
Carson Beck
They talked themselves into Carson Beck at No. 74, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins slid further than he should have, and pick No. 76 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick107
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
They robbed the room for Danny Stutsman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nicholas Singleton in pick 110. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148
Rnd5
TreVeyon Henderson
They will replay TreVeyon Henderson at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick168
Rnd5
Theo Wease Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Theo Wease Jr. in slot 168 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170
Rnd5
Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick171
Rnd5
Nazir Stackhouse
A premium they did not need to pay, Nazir Stackhouse a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick187
Rnd6
Cody Simon
Taking Cody Simon in the 187th pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick209
Rnd6
Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at Round 6, Pick 34 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick247
Rnd7
Raheim Sanders
Circle this one: Raheim Sanders at slot 247 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
