Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureA
A franchise passer in Sanders headlines a D weekend for the Cowboys.

There is reaching, and then there is Terrence Ferguson II at slot 122. The Cowboys jumped the board by 42 and dared it to prove them wrong. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Shedeur Sanders gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In pick No. 4 they get a passer to set the clock by, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in No. 58 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71 Rnd3 Josh Simmons
Josh Simmons at pick 71 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick82 Rnd3 Deion Burks
Deion Burks in slot 82 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick90 Rnd3 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick122 Rnd4 Terrence Ferguson II
They reached into another round for Terrence Ferguson II, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jacobee Bryant
Jacobee Bryant at Round 5, Pick 26 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jack Kiser. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
