Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB
A passer of the future in Sanders, and a D, for the Cowboys.

You build a draft on nights like this. Smael Mondon Jr. had no business being available in the Round 6 slot, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

The Reed-Adams reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Everything downstream of Shedeur Sanders depends on Shedeur Sanders, and the building knows it.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 1 they get a featured back. A real need, handled.
Pick3 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
They took Shedeur Sanders at par in the 3rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick34 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori is a better player than the 34th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick45 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
They read the board right and Harold Fannin Jr. was the payoff at the 45th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 12 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
Somehow Tez Johnson was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in pick No. 168 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ar'maj Reed-Adams in slot 170, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
No drama and no debate, Shemar Turner went about where he belonged in No. 171. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick189 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Taking Smael Mondon Jr. in pick 189 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
A conviction pick on Garrett Dellinger at the 247th pick that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick248 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
They went early on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in Round 7, Pick 34, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
