Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureC+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cowboys to a C-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Fernando Carmona in slot 228, a good 42 spots before the room expected him. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C-.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Stewart at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 David Bailey
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. More want than need.
Pick38 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
A straight-up fair deal on Sonny Styles at No. 38, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman at pick No. 48 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116 Rnd4 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in pick 116 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick156 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in slot 156 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick179 Rnd5 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in Round 5, Pick 39 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick194 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Zuhn III this early at the Round 6 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick218 Rnd7 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart slipping to the 218th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
Fernando Carmona at pick 228 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick230 Rnd7 Malik Hartford
No drama and no debate, Malik Hartford went about where he belonged in No. 230. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
