Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA-
A passer of the future in Sanders, and a D, for the Cowboys.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cowboys took Jared Wilson at the 172nd pick, roughly 39 spots before his name belonged.

Everything downstream of Shedeur Sanders depends on Shedeur Sanders, and the building knows it. Reid at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In slot 4 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick13 Rnd1 Tre Harris
In pick No. 13 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Nic Scourton
Nic Scourton at pick 35 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick44 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cameron Williams in the 44th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
You do not let a safety like Sonny Styles reach No. 77 and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick113 Rnd4 Derrick Harmon
Taking Derrick Harmon in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at slot 163 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jordan Hancock
They will replay Jordan Hancock at pick 169 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Karene Reid
Karene Reid at pick No. 170 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in Round 5, Pick 34 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick188 Rnd6 Garrett Dellinger
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Garrett Dellinger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick209 Rnd6 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick249 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Circle this one: Shilo Sanders at the 249th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
