Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
Sanders is the plan now, and the Cowboys grade out a D+.

The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Chip Trayanum, 92 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Everything downstream of Shedeur Sanders depends on Shedeur Sanders, and the building knows it. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

Leonard at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick26 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
No edge and no loss on Jonah Savaiinaea in pick No. 26; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick50 Rnd2 Ollie Gordon II
They robbed the room for Ollie Gordon II here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick58 Rnd2 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at slot 58 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Nic Anderson
Nic Anderson in No. 82 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90 Rnd3 Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore at Round 3, Pick 26 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick114 Rnd4 Nick Emmanwori
They liked Nick Emmanwori enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 114. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick122 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at slot 122 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick154 Rnd5 Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard in No. 154 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick186 Rnd6 Chip Trayanum
A real head-scratcher, Chip Trayanum in pick 186 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
