Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureD-
The Cowboys went off-script early, and it cost them a F.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cowboys spent No. 174 on Elijhah Badger, a name the board had a full 118 spots lower.

However the rest shakes out, Castro at that price is a win they earned. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with tight end still staring back at them.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in Round 1, Pick 15 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 25th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in No. 44, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tate Ratledge in the 50th pick, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Quinshon Judkins at pick No. 74 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick 76 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick80 Rnd3 Quinn Ewers
They paid a round early for Quinn Ewers in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick82 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in pick 82 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
They will replay Omarr Norman-Lott at slot 92 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A big swing on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 117, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137 Rnd4 Ahmed Hassanein
They talked themselves into Ahmed Hassanein at No. 137, and the board did not agree. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick150 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
Circle this one: Sebastian Castro at Round 5, Pick 11 is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick170 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
They paid sticker price for Cobee Bryant in the 170th overall pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
A clean, defensible pick in the 172nd pick with a little surplus value in Ajani Cornelius. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Elijhah Badger
A wild overpay on Elijhah Badger in pick No. 174, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick190 Rnd6 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III in Round 6, Pick 12 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
They barely believed it either: Ollie Gordon II still on the board at the Round 6 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249 Rnd7 Shemar James
Shemar James in No. 249 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
