Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
Nobody dealt better than the Cowboys this weekend: B+.

The Cowboys bet big and early on Da'Shawn Womack, 41 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will answer for taking edge rusher early while quarterback, running back and other spots went begging.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 18 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Good price on Dillon Thieneman in the 49th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick75 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad at the 75th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jake Golday at No. 90 is the proof. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick112 Rnd4 Caden Curry
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Caden Curry adds an edge rusher and leaves quarterback, running back and other spots untouched.
Pick151 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
By-the-book stuff, Davison Igbinosun at Round 5, Pick 12 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick178 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
Value said wait; Patrick Payton in Round 5, Pick 39 says they were not listening. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
A clean, defensible pick in slot 195 with a little surplus value in Thaddeus Dixon. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick215 Rnd6 Da'Shawn Womack
Da'Shawn Womack at pick 215 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick221 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
No drama and no debate, J. Michael Sturdivant went about where he belonged in the 221st overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
They paid sticker price for Fernando Carmona in the 225th pick, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
