Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The Cowboys bet big and early on Donovan Smith, 95 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

Landing Sanders that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that.
Pick44 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
They read the board right and Derrick Harmon was the payoff at the 44th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick49 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
A conviction pick on Grey Zabel at the 49th overall pick that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick51 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
Matthew Golden at pick No. 51 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at No. 74 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Nice patience on TreVeyon Henderson, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 12. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jihaad Campbell in No. 81, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick85 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
They reached a country mile for Luke Kandra at the 85th pick, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A premium they did not need to pay, Savion Williams a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick109 Rnd4 Donovan Smith
Value said wait; Donovan Smith in pick 109 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick117 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
You do not let a safety like Kevin Winston Jr. reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick148 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A big swing on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 148th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168 Rnd5 Simeon Barrow Jr.
Simeon Barrow Jr. at slot 168 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick170 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Somehow Cam Skattebo was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 33, and they pounced on premier running back value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in Round 5, Pick 36 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in No. 186 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick209 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in pick No. 209 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jaishawn Barham
Steal is underselling it; Jaishawn Barham at slot 248 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
