Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureA+
A franchise passer in Sanders headlines a D+ weekend for the Cowboys. The Cowboys torched the value chart for Tyler Batty, taking him 74 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It grades a D+, and the process earned it.
So much rides on Shedeur Sanders that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.
That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
In the 1st pick they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick12
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In pick 12 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick35
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
They barely believed it either: Walter Nolen still on the board at the 35th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Fair-plus on Donovan Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at No. 100 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cam Skattebo. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick119
Rnd4
Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in pick No. 119 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick142
Rnd5
Charles Grant
Charles Grant at slot 142 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150
Rnd5
Tyler Batty
A big swing on Tyler Batty at pick 150, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick168
Rnd5
Lathan Ransom
You do not let a safety like Lathan Ransom reach No. 168 and blink. They did not. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick170
Rnd5
Karene Reid
A wild overpay on Karene Reid in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick172
Rnd5
Addison West
Addison West in Round 5, Pick 33 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249
Rnd7
Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. in the 249th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
