Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Cowboys.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Cowboys did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to cornerback, which was the need that mattered most. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Barham reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
In the 30th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They took Tate Ratledge at par in the 62nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 Noah Thomas
No drama and no debate, Noah Thomas went about where he belonged in pick No. 94. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126 Rnd4 Raheim Sanders
A reach for Raheim Sanders in pick 126; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jaishawn Barham
They jumped the gun on Jaishawn Barham, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick190 Rnd6 Khordae Sydnor
By-the-book stuff, Khordae Sydnor at No. 190 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick222 Rnd7 Will Howard
Will Howard in Round 7, Pick 30 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
