Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys robbed the room for Sanders. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Raheim Sanders, the 248th pick, roughly 99 picks past where he belonged.

Every board in the league had Igbinosun lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman.

They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 14th pick they get a bell-cow for the offense, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jalon Walker at slot 45 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in pick 76 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
They will replay Sonny Styles at No. 151 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick168 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They reached a country mile for Davison Igbinosun at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
They barely believed it either: Mason Taylor still on the board at Round 5, Pick 32. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
Circle this one: Tez Johnson at pick No. 171 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They read the board right and Dont'e Thornton Jr. was the payoff at the 189th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick209 Rnd6 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at pick No. 209 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick248 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Taking Raheim Sanders in the 248th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
