Draft Grade — Cowboys

FutureA
The Cowboys finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a D. Thirty-one other rooms let TreVeyon Henderson slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at the Round 5 slot. Highway robbery. A D that will need time and luck to look better.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The McLaughlin reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
So much rides on Shedeur Sanders that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get the arm they will build around at fair value.
Pick4
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 4 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick6
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In the 6th overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside. A real need, handled.
Pick38
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Circle this one: Omarion Hampton at the 38th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach No. 76 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick101
Rnd3
Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104
Rnd4
Quinshon Judkins
Somehow Quinshon Judkins was still sitting there in pick No. 104, and they pounced on premier running back value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
They took Rylie Mills at par in slot 126, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick140
Rnd5
Azareye'h Thomas
The board fumbled Azareye'h Thomas all the way to pick 140, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148
Rnd5
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at Round 5, Pick 11 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick166
Rnd5
Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts in No. 166 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168
Rnd5
Danny Stutsman
They will replay Danny Stutsman at the 168th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
No drama and no debate, JJ Pegues went about where he belonged in the 170th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick173
Rnd5
Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at Round 5, Pick 36 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
