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

The Jimmy Horn Jr. pick is the one that will follow the Cowboys into the fall. They took him 39 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Moss. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.

They have staked the next five years on Shedeur Sanders, which is the only story that really matters here. The veteran additions, Calvin Ridley chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In pick No. 1 they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick4 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
Kelvin Banks Jr. in the 4th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick35 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III at slot 35 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick44 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Nice patience on Harold Fannin Jr., who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 12. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Taking Xavier Watts in No. 76 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick101 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, TreVeyon Henderson in the 101st overall pick, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Circle this one: Jake Majors at slot 148 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Somehow Chris Paul Jr. was still sitting there in No. 170, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173 Rnd5 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III in the 173rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick183 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
They liked Ty Hamilton enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 183. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick186 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
They went early on Miles Frazier in pick No. 186, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jaylin Smith
Jaylin Smith at the Round 6 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
Steal is underselling it; Le'Veon Moss at Round 6, Pick 35 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jimmy Horn Jr. this early at the 248th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
