Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cowboys to a D-.

The Cowboys did not so much draft Gerry Bohanon as overpay for him, 189 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

The Sanders pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In pick No. 13 they get juice off the edge. More want than need.
Pick29 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
They paid sticker price for Emeka Egbuka in slot 29, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick44 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon is a better player than pick 44 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Nice patience on Dylan Fairchild, who had no business lasting to the 73rd pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick95 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
A reach for Hollin Pierce in Round 3, Pick 31; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick110 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
Steal is underselling it; TreVeyon Henderson at No. 110 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick114 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick148 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in No. 148 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
They will replay Oronde Gadsden II at the 168th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick209 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Circle this one: Raheim Sanders at pick No. 209 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick248 Rnd7 Gerry Bohanon
Gerry Bohanon in slot 248 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
