Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB+
A franchise passer in Sanders headlines a D weekend for the Cowboys.

Some picks age like wine; Roman Hemby at the 186th pick will need to, sitting 42 spots clear of his grade. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

The Ward steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Shedeur Sanders gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In pick 11 they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick28 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Abdul Carter at the Round 1 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at slot 38 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick58 Rnd2 Danny Stutsman
They took Danny Stutsman at par in No. 58, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick70 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
Value with a capital V on Ajani Cornelius in the 70th overall pick, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75 Rnd3 Nic Anderson
Nic Anderson at the 75th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in slot 90 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91 Rnd3 J. Michael Sturdivant
A straight-up fair deal on J. Michael Sturdivant at pick 91, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
They liked Jalon Walker enough to skip the value, taking him in the 92nd pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick122 Rnd4 Nick Emmanwori
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nick Emmanwori. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick154 Rnd5 Cam Ward
You do not let a quarterback like Cam Ward reach pick No. 154 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick186 Rnd6 Roman Hemby
They talked themselves into Roman Hemby at Round 6, Pick 26, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
