Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys let Wheatley fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Zakee Wheatley, the No. 85 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 5 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In slot 12 they get a ballhawk on the back end, and a steal at that.
Pick20 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In pick No. 20 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick92 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
Josiah Trotter in the 92nd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Malik Muhammad
They let Malik Muhammad come to them and pounced at the Round 4 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Zakee Wheatley
You do not let a safety like Zakee Wheatley reach pick 152 and blink. They did not. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick177 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Good price on Aamil Wagner in Round 5, Pick 37, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180 Rnd5 Caleb Douglas
Nice patience on Caleb Douglas, who had no business lasting to the 180th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick218 Rnd7 Kaelon Black
They paid sticker price for Kaelon Black in No. 218, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
