Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Sadiq: D-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Kenyon Sadiq slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at Round 7, Pick 14. Highway robbery. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

The cost of the Castell reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 David Bailey
David Bailey in No. 15 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick28 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get the heartbeat of the defense, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jermod McCoy
Jermod McCoy in pick 42 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Mansoor Delane
The board fumbled Mansoor Delane all the way to pick No. 78, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick115 Rnd4 Earl Little Jr.
Earl Little Jr. at the 115th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick178 Rnd5 Bud Clark
Bud Clark in slot 178 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick179 Rnd5 Jordan Castell
They reached a country mile for Jordan Castell at the 179th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jonah Coleman
Somehow Jonah Coleman was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick216 Rnd7 CJ Daniels
Taking CJ Daniels in No. 216 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick229 Rnd7 Kenyon Sadiq
Circle this one: Kenyon Sadiq at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
