Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Cowboys turned the phones into found money: A-.

The Cowboys treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 5, Pick 11 on Tyler Batty a full 149 spots early. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

The Styles pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, with Tyler Warren leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the 44th pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick49 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond slipping to pick 49 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick56 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Omarion Hampton in Round 2, Pick 24, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at slot 57 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A clean, defensible pick in the 76th overall pick with a little surplus value in Andrew Mukuba. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick122 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in No. 122 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick145 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach pick No. 145 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tyler Batty. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick168 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
They robbed the room for Sonny Styles here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick170 Rnd5 Lander Barton
Lander Barton at the 170th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dorian Strong at slot 173 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
