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

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cowboys reached some 82 spots for Trey Wedig, and value like that does not grow back. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

Landing Neal that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The whole projection now runs through Shedeur Sanders; hit there and everything else looks smarter. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In pick No. 2 they get the arm they will build around at fair value.
Pick33 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A tidy bit of business in the 33rd overall pick, where Omarion Hampton graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They did well to land Jihaad Campbell in No. 44, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at Round 3, Pick 12 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
You do not let a safety like Malachi Moore reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick138 Rnd5 Elic Ayomanor
They robbed the room for Elic Ayomanor here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Rylie Mills
The board had Rylie Mills higher than the 148th overall pick, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick168 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Barrett Carter in the 168th pick, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170 Rnd5 Devin Neal
The board fumbled Devin Neal all the way to Round 5, Pick 33, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at No. 171 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick187 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at slot 187 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick209 Rnd6 Trey Wedig
Trey Wedig at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at pick 247 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
