Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
D-
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesF
FutureB+
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-. Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Cowboys, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.
The Turner pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with tight end still on the board. They will need Collins to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
JT Tuimoloau
In No. 16 they get a disruptor off the edge, even if it was a touch early.
Pick26
Rnd1
Jonah Savaiinaea
In the 26th pick they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46
Rnd2
Ajani Cornelius
A premium they did not need to pay, Ajani Cornelius a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58
Rnd2
Danny Stutsman
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Danny Stutsman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick73
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick78
Rnd3
J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant in the 78th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88
Rnd3
Riley Leonard
No drama and no debate, Riley Leonard went about where he belonged in pick No. 88. It fills a real need, too.
Pick90
Rnd3
Shemar Turner
Of all the spots to shop, they chose edge rusher. Shemar Turner in slot 90 leaves tight end for later.
Pick97
Rnd4
Raheim Sanders
They paid a round early for Raheim Sanders in pick 97, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick105
Rnd4
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at the 105th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick122
Rnd4
Nick Emmanwori
No edge and no loss on Nick Emmanwori in the 122nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick129
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
They liked Davison Igbinosun enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 129. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick154
Rnd5
Alfred Collins
They reached into another round for Alfred Collins, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick186
Rnd6
Colbie Young
Colbie Young in the Round 6 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
