Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureB+
The Cowboys bet the future on Sanders. The board says D. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cowboys took Will Sheppard a full 47 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Everything downstream of Shedeur Sanders depends on Shedeur Sanders, and the building knows it. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Landing Tuimoloau that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
Fair-plus on Shedeur Sanders, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick26
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in No. 26 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick42
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau at Round 2, Pick 10 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick60
Rnd2
Josh Conerly Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Josh Conerly Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
They let Tate Ratledge come to them and pounced at pick 74. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
They did well to land Nicholas Singleton in slot 90, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick91
Rnd3
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Jamon Dumas-Johnson at No. 91 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in the 122nd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124
Rnd4
Will Sheppard
Will Sheppard in the 124th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick154
Rnd5
Alfred Collins
They took Alfred Collins at par in pick 154, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156
Rnd5
Jaydn Ott
Nice patience on Jaydn Ott, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick186
Rnd6
Jalen Catalon
They talked themselves into Jalen Catalon at Round 6, Pick 26, and the board did not agree. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
