Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 73rd overall pick: the Cowboys steal Dennis-Sutton and grade out a B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Dani Dennis-Sutton slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at slot 73. Highway robbery. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The cost of the Owens reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Dennis-Sutton pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, tight end and other spots still on the board.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In slot 9 they get a bendy edge with upside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordyn Tyson
They robbed the room for Jordyn Tyson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Dani Dennis-Sutton
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Dani Dennis-Sutton adds an edge rusher and leaves quarterback, tight end and other spots untouched.
Pick109 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
No edge and no loss on Chase Bisontis in pick 109; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. at Round 5, Pick 10 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick177 Rnd6 Lander Barton
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Lander Barton in No. 177, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick214 Rnd6 Rueben Owens
Rueben Owens at pick No. 214 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
