Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueA- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys robbed the room for Young. Final grade: D.

You build a draft on nights like this. Zion Young had no business being available in slot 112, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Put together, it is a D.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 12th overall pick they get a rangy last line of defense at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick27 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In No. 27 they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the 30th pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick112 Rnd4 Zion Young
Somehow Zion Young was still sitting there in slot 112, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick150 Rnd5 Billy Schrauth
The board had Billy Schrauth higher than pick No. 150, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick177 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in pick 177 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick215 Rnd6 J'Mari Taylor
A top-tier running back at a bargain, J'Mari Taylor in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick221 Rnd7 Tyren Montgomery
Tyren Montgomery at Round 7, Pick 5 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
