Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB
The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Some picks age like wine; T.J. Sanders at the 171st pick will need to, sitting 53 spots clear of his grade.

The Bech pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick 14 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Devin Neal
Devin Neal at slot 50 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Shemar Stewart
Shemar Stewart at the 76th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick122 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
Nothing to complain about; Rylie Mills went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick155 Rnd5 Nick Martin
They reached into another round for Nick Martin, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160 Rnd5 Garrett Dellinger
A big swing on Garrett Dellinger at pick No. 160, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jack Bech
Jack Bech in the 169th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 PJ Williams
Value said wait; PJ Williams in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171 Rnd5 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at Round 5, Pick 33 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick192 Rnd6 Henry Parrish Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Henry Parrish Jr. at No. 192 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick208 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nazir Stackhouse. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Haynes King
The board fumbled Haynes King all the way to pick No. 227, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
