Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureA
A war room that did its homework. Cowboys: A-.

The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for Patrick Payton, 80 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

The Stukes steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Azeez Al-Shaair pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

In the end it comes back to Sonny Styles, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In pick 20 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28 Rnd1 Colton Hood
In slot 28 they get an island corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick92 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes in the 92nd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 6, with Bryce Lance worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick152 Rnd5 Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover at pick No. 152 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick177 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton in the 177th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick180 Rnd5 Jeff Caldwell
They paid a round early for Jeff Caldwell in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218 Rnd7 Bobby Jamison-Travis
They paid sticker price for Bobby Jamison-Travis in No. 218, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
