Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D+.

The Anthony Belton selection is the head-turner. The Cowboys reached 86 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Too much went sideways, and the D+ is the honest tally.

On value alone, Winston Jr. makes the weekend a net positive. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

Leaving wide receiver 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, wide receiver very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 8th pick they get a lead back with juice at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick15 Rnd1 Mason Graham
They let Mason Graham come to them and pounced at No. 15. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick24 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a ballhawk on the back end. More want than need.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Good price on Jalon Walker in the 33rd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
They liked Grey Zabel enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 52. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Alfred Collins. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick74 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at slot 74 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in No. 94 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
They barely believed it either: Gunnar Helm still on the board at pick No. 102. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick134 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Daylen Everette for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
The board fumbled Barrett Carter all the way to the 148th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in pick 168 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Circle this one: Kevin Winston Jr. at the 170th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick171 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at the 186th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
