Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
Sanders is the Cowboys' new face under center. Grade: D+.

The Cowboys did not so much draft Donovan Smith as overpay for him, 71 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

They have staked the next five years on Shedeur Sanders, which is the only story that really matters here. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On value alone, Henderson makes the weekend a net positive.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In the 4th pick they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 12 they get a featured back, outstanding value to boot.
Pick14 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
They did well to land Abdul Carter in No. 14, just ahead of his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick38 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 38 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick62 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Somehow Tyler Warren was still sitting there in pick 62, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick67 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Good price on Alfred Collins in No. 67, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at slot 76 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker slipping to pick No. 83 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick91 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
You do not let a running back like TreVeyon Henderson reach pick 91 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
They paid up for Ajani Cornelius at the 94th pick when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette at the 102nd overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Fair-plus on Nicholas Singleton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at Round 4, Pick 11 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148 Rnd5 Donovan Smith
They reached into another round for Donovan Smith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
