Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureD
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Vincent Anthony Jr., 74 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Spending an early pick on edge rusher with quarterback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Golday pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In slot 6 they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in pick 55 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick86 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew at No. 86 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Caden Curry
Caden Curry in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick90 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes in Round 3, Pick 26 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Of all the spots to shop, they chose edge rusher. Jake Golday in the 92nd pick leaves quarterback for later.
Pick112 Rnd4 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A tidy little value on Darrell Jackson Jr. in slot 112, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick113 Rnd4 Ja'Kobi Lane
Nice patience on Ja'Kobi Lane, who had no business lasting to the 113th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick152 Rnd5 Eli Raridon
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Eli Raridon at pick 152. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick165 Rnd5 Le'Veon Moss
They reached into another round for Le'Veon Moss, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick168 Rnd5 Vincent Anthony Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Vincent Anthony Jr. in No. 168, miles early. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick182 Rnd6 VJ Payne
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for VJ Payne. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
