Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cowboys started one anyway for Sonny Styles, 25 picks ahead of schedule. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. However the rest shakes out, Bailey at that price is a win they earned. They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In No. 12 they get the heartbeat of the defense, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20 Rnd1 David Bailey
A slide stopped in Round 1, Pick 20, with David Bailey worth more than the price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
