Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Sayin is the plan now, and the Cowboys grade out a B.

The search is over. The Cowboys handed the keys to Julian Sayin, and the whole operation now runs on his development. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The Robinson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jeremiah Smith
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Julian Sayin
In slot 20 they get the arm they will build around at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick112 Rnd4 LJ Martin
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on LJ Martin. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick150 Rnd5 Christian Gray
A quiet steal in No. 150: Christian Gray for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick177 Rnd5 Kam Robinson
Steal is underselling it; Kam Robinson at pick 177 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jake Guarnera
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jake Guarnera in the 215th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick221 Rnd7 Sheridan Wilson
They paid sticker price for Sheridan Wilson in pick No. 221, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Xavier Chaplin
Xavier Chaplin at the 225th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
