Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cowboys to a D+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cowboys reached some 59 spots for Antwaun Powell-Ryland, and value like that does not grow back. It grades a D+, and the process earned it.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Cowboys indulged a want in Powell-Ryland while a need in quarterback and tight end stayed open. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 7 they get a centerpiece for the ground game at fair value.
Pick14 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 14th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick15 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In slot 15 they get an anchor for the defensive front, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick29 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the 29th pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
The board had Nick Emmanwori higher than No. 34, and the safety fell to them anyway. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick38 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
A big swing on Grey Zabel at Round 2, Pick 6, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Danny Stutsman
A real head-scratcher, Danny Stutsman in Round 2, Pick 25 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Donovan Ezeiruaku
A conviction pick on Donovan Ezeiruaku at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in slot 69 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins is a better player than No. 76 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick100 Rnd3 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went edge rusher with Antwaun Powell-Ryland while clear needs at quarterback and tight end sat open.
Pick110 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
The board had cheaper options than Daylen Everette at the 110th overall pick, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Circle this one: Nicholas Singleton at pick 126 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick138 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
Somehow Elic Ayomanor was still sitting there in pick No. 138, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
They paid a round early for Raheim Sanders in the 139th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
