Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cowboys to a D.

The Cowboys treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 186th overall pick on Chip Trayanum a full 83 spots early.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 JT Tuimoloau
In the 24th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. More want than need.
Pick26 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
In pick No. 26 they get a building block for the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III in the Round 2 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in No. 58 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick64 Rnd2 Elic Ayomanor
They went early on Elic Ayomanor in slot 64, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick83 Rnd3 Raheim Sanders
A real head-scratcher, Raheim Sanders in Round 3, Pick 19 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick88 Rnd3 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at the 88th overall pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick90 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse
They paid sticker price for Nazir Stackhouse in pick 90, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
A reach for Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick93 Rnd3 Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard at pick No. 93 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122 Rnd4 J. Michael Sturdivant
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 26, where J. Michael Sturdivant graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick154 Rnd5 Will Lee III
They took Will Lee III at par in the 154th pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick186 Rnd6 Chip Trayanum
They reached a country mile for Chip Trayanum at slot 186, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
