Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys found their guy under center in Sanders: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Gino Garcia at No. 149. The Cowboys jumped the board by 132 and dared it to prove them wrong.

They have staked the next five years on Shedeur Sanders, which is the only story that really matters here. Hill falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Shedeur Sanders. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick44 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
Fair-plus on Cameron Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals slipping to Round 3, Pick 12 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149 Rnd5 Gino Garcia
A wild overpay on Gino Garcia in pick No. 149, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Steal is underselling it; Jeffrey Bassa at pick 171 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
They robbed the room for Kurtis Rourke here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tommi Hill
They barely believed it either: Tommi Hill still on the board at No. 204. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick211 Rnd6 Logan Parr
This one needs a full-page explanation: Logan Parr in the Round 6 slot, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick239 Rnd7 Karene Reid
Karene Reid in the 239th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
They took Tonka Hemingway at par in pick 247, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
