Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys let Singleton fall into their laps, and walked away with a D-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Nicholas Singleton tumbling to the Cowboys in pick No. 186 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.

The Helm reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a bell-cow for the offense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick11 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick No. 11 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick17 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
They did well to land Nick Emmanwori in the Round 1 slot, just ahead of his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick39 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Good price on Luther Burden III in pick 39, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick42 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at the 42nd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
The board fumbled Smael Mondon Jr. all the way to the 69th overall pick, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
They left a pile of value on the table to take Alfred Collins this early at No. 75. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick78 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at slot 78 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They will replay Jake Majors at slot 94 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick95 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Taking TreVeyon Henderson in pick No. 95 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Gunnar Helm
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Gunnar Helm well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at the 169th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170 Rnd5 Michael Taaffe
Steal is underselling it; Michael Taaffe at No. 170 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick171 Rnd5 Cody Simon
You do not let a linebacker like Cody Simon reach pick 171 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick186 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in the 186th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick209 Rnd6 Kevin Winston Jr.
Nice patience on Kevin Winston Jr., who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 34. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
