Draft Grade — Cowboys

The Cowboys fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B-. The Cowboys treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick 168 on Vincent Anthony Jr. a full 73 spots early.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Golday at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. It is not that Curry is a bad player; it is that the Cowboys had louder needs to answer first.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In the 20th pick they get a three-down second-level presence, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28
Rnd1
Jermod McCoy
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47
Rnd2
Caleb Tiernan
They paid up for Caleb Tiernan at Round 2, Pick 15 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick59
Rnd2
Lee Hunter
They read the board right and Lee Hunter was the payoff at slot 59. The roster fit checks out.
Pick70
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
Value with a capital V on Eli Stowers in pick No. 70, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jake Golday
Jake Golday at pick 87 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick92
Rnd3
Caden Curry
A surprising call. With quarterback still to address, they spent No. 92 on Caden Curry, an edge rusher they were not short of.
Pick112
Rnd4
Bud Clark
A reasonable price with a little left over, Bud Clark in the 112th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick113
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nicholas Singleton. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis slipping to slot 126 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick165
Rnd5
VJ Payne
A swing that ignored the value entirely, VJ Payne well ahead of where he belonged. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick168
Rnd5
Vincent Anthony Jr.
Vincent Anthony Jr. at Round 5, Pick 28 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick214
Rnd6
Eric McAlister
They let Eric McAlister come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick218
Rnd7
Kendrick Law
You do not let a wide receiver like Kendrick Law reach pick No. 218 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
