Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C
ValueD+ NeedB TradesD FutureB
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Cowboys: C.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cowboys took Will Rogers a full 123 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

Landing Sanders that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

So much rides on Malachi Moore that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in the 38th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at the 44th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in slot 69 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 Blake Miller
A real head-scratcher, Blake Miller in No. 77 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113 Rnd4 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone at pick 113 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick151 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ollie Gordon II in pick No. 151. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
A running back of that caliber at the 169th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick170 Rnd5 Bryce Foster
A straight-up fair deal on Bryce Foster at the 170th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick188 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway in Round 6, Pick 13 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick209 Rnd6 Will Rogers
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Will Rogers. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
