Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureB+
The phones sank the Cowboys this weekend: D. Somebody took the Cowboys to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. Put together, it is a D.
They will need Barron to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will answer for taking safety early while cornerback and tight end went begging. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and cornerback is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Jonah Savaiinaea
In the 19th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26
Rnd1
Emery Jones
In the 26th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46
Rnd2
Nic Anderson
They paid a round early for Nic Anderson in slot 46, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick58
Rnd2
Danny Stutsman
No drama and no debate, Danny Stutsman went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 26. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick62
Rnd2
Trevor Etienne
The board had cheaper options than Trevor Etienne at pick No. 62, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick78
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
A reach on Nicholas Singleton in pick 78; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick82
Rnd3
Shemar Turner
They reached into another round for Shemar Turner, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick83
Rnd3
Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at No. 83 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick90
Rnd3
Smael Mondon Jr.
A conviction pick on Smael Mondon Jr. at the 90th pick that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92
Rnd3
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at pick 92 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jahdae Barron
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Jahdae Barron in pick No. 122 leaves cornerback and tight end for later.
Pick154
Rnd5
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick179
Rnd6
Will Howard
They let Will Howard come to them and pounced at slot 179. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick186
Rnd6
Colbie Young
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Colbie Young. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
