Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys found their guy under center in Sanders: B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jaylin Smith in the 170th overall pick, a good 80 spots before the room expected him. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Everything downstream of Shedeur Sanders depends on Shedeur Sanders, and the building knows it. The Bryant value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In the 12th overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Savion Williams
They talked themselves into Savion Williams at the Round 2 slot, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in the 76th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
They robbed the room for Darius Alexander here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jaylin Smith
A big swing on Jaylin Smith at pick 170, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
They jumped the gun on Jaylen Reed, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick174 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 174 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick190 Rnd6 Woody Marks
Woody Marks in Round 6, Pick 12 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at pick No. 211 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick249 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in the 249th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
