Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Cowboys, and a C to match.

Some picks age like wine; Trevor Etienne at slot 169 will need to, sitting 151 spots clear of his grade. The final tally is a middling C.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. The Bech value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Hit on Kaleb Johnson and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Kaleb Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a bell-cow for the offense, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tez Johnson
Value said wait; Tez Johnson in the 44th overall pick says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick77 Rnd3 Keon Sabb
This one needs a full-page explanation: Keon Sabb in the 77th pick, miles early. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick113 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Terrance Ferguson. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick151 Rnd5 Tyreak Sapp
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyreak Sapp well ahead of where he belonged. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick169 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at slot 169 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick170 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at Round 5, Pick 32 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jack Bech
They let Jack Bech come to them and pounced at the Round 5 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick188 Rnd6 Garrett Dellinger
They reached into another round for Garrett Dellinger, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick209 Rnd6 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at the 209th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
