Draft Grade — Cowboys

FutureB-
The Cowboys answered their biggest question with Sanders. Grade: D. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cowboys started one anyway for Brady Cook, 70 picks ahead of schedule. The math is unkind, and the D follows.
The Martinez pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The whole projection now runs through Shedeur Sanders; hit there and everything else looks smarter.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, linebacker very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
In pick 12 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick14
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In the 14th pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea at No. 44 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67
Rnd3
Cameron Williams
By-the-book stuff, Cameron Williams at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76
Rnd3
Dylan Sampson
Nice patience on Dylan Sampson, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 12. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149
Rnd5
Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell in slot 149 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171
Rnd5
Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at pick No. 171 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick204
Rnd6
Nazir Stackhouse
No drama and no debate, Nazir Stackhouse went about where he belonged in No. 204. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211
Rnd6
Brady Cook
A wild overpay on Brady Cook in the 211th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239
Rnd7
Damien Martinez
You do not let a running back like Damien Martinez reach slot 239 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick247
Rnd7
Eric Gregory
Eric Gregory at pick 247 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
