Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named wide receiver, a need the Cowboys walked right past.

The Styles reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. On the needs board they went 1 of 8, with linebacker the one that mattered most. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick20 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
In pick 20 they get a disruptor off the edge. Need was not the driver here.
