Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys drew a line under the quarterback search with Sanders: D.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Cowboys shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

They have staked the next five years on Shedeur Sanders, which is the only story that really matters here. If Caldwell pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

They will answer for taking edge rusher early while tight end went begging. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In No. 5 they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick7 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick No. 7 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick10 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
Shedeur Sanders in the Round 1 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick30 Rnd1 Ollie Gordon II
In pick 30 they get a three-down runner. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams at slot 42 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick62 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They took Tate Ratledge at par in the 62nd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tory Horton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tory Horton at Round 3, Pick 5. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick74 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Danny Stutsman at the 74th pick is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
They talked themselves into Jamaree Caldwell at pick 103, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end to take Tyler Baron, an edge rusher that was not the priority.
Pick126 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Nothing to complain about; Nicholas Singleton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick158 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at slot 158 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at pick No. 190 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Marcus Harris
A premium they did not need to pay, Marcus Harris a notch or two before his time. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
