Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys robbed the room for Haulcy. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how A.J. Haulcy got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at the 92nd pick.

The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In pick 12 they get a featured back at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick20 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In slot 20 they get a green-dot type in the middle, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick92 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at the 92nd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick112 Rnd4 Elijah Sarratt
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Elijah Sarratt in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
No drama and no debate, Charles Demmings went about where he belonged in No. 152. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177 Rnd5 Caleb Douglas
Value with a capital V on Caleb Douglas in pick No. 177, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher in Round 5, Pick 40 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
