Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureC+
The Cowboys answered their biggest question with Sanders. Grade: D. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how TreVeyon Henderson got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at No. 116.
Everything downstream of Shedeur Sanders depends on Shedeur Sanders, and the building knows it. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The veteran additions, Myles Garrett chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
Shedeur Sanders at the Round 1 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick12
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In slot 12 they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in No. 45 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick63
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
A tidy little value on Alfred Collins in pick 63, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick66
Rnd3
Azareye'h Thomas
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 2 with a little surplus value in Azareye'h Thomas. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jihaad Campbell
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jihaad Campbell in slot 76, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick95
Rnd3
Tez Johnson
Good price on Tez Johnson in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick116
Rnd4
TreVeyon Henderson
Circle this one: TreVeyon Henderson at pick No. 116 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick150
Rnd5
Jared Wilson
The board fumbled Jared Wilson all the way to the 150th pick, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick152
Rnd5
Darius Alexander
Taking Darius Alexander in the 152nd overall pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick170
Rnd5
Mitchell Evans
They will replay Mitchell Evans at No. 170 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
