Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
F
ValueC
NeedB-
TradesF
FutureD-
Sanders is the Cowboys' new face under center. Grade: F. The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for Kyle McCord, 82 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Whatever Shedeur Sanders becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. Getting McCullough where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
There is no soft landing here; this class has to massively overperform just to matter.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
Shedeur Sanders at slot 3 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick4
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 4 they get a home-run threat at receiver, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick8
Rnd1
Deone Walker
In the 8th pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. A real need, handled.
Pick15
Rnd1
Nic Scourton
In pick No. 15 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at Round 2, Pick 3 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick36
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
They liked TreVeyon Henderson enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 36. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68
Rnd3
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in No. 68 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick70
Rnd3
Noah Thomas
They reached a country mile for Noah Thomas at the 70th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71
Rnd3
Blake Miller
By-the-book stuff, Blake Miller at Round 3, Pick 7 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick72
Rnd3
Shilo Sanders
They paid sticker price for Shilo Sanders in pick 72, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick76
Rnd3
Nazir Stackhouse
They talked themselves into Nazir Stackhouse at the 76th pick, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77
Rnd3
Antwane Wells Jr.
A wild overpay on Antwane Wells Jr. in slot 77, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick78
Rnd3
Hunter Wohler
They paid up for Hunter Wohler at pick No. 78 when waiting would have done the job. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick79
Rnd3
DJ Giddens
A swing that ignored the value entirely, DJ Giddens well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101
Rnd4
Gavin Bartholomew
Gavin Bartholomew in the 101st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick102
Rnd4
Jamaree Caldwell
They jumped the gun on Jamaree Caldwell, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103
Rnd4
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in No. 103 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick114
Rnd4
Alfred Collins
A real head-scratcher, Alfred Collins in pick 114 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick115
Rnd4
Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick121
Rnd4
Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at the 121st overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124
Rnd4
Akheem Mesidor
They left a pile of value on the table to take Akheem Mesidor this early at Round 4, Pick 28. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick126
Rnd4
Roman Hemby
A premium they did not need to pay, Roman Hemby a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick130
Rnd5
Tahj Brooks
They reached into another round for Tahj Brooks, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick131
Rnd5
Reuben Fatheree II
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Reuben Fatheree II. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick134
Rnd5
Kyle McCord
Value said wait; Kyle McCord in pick No. 134 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick136
Rnd5
J.C. Davis
A big swing on J.C. Davis at the 136th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138
Rnd5
Mason Taylor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mason Taylor in slot 138, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick139
Rnd5
Marques Cox
Marques Cox in pick 139 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick144
Rnd5
Dasan McCullough
You do not let a linebacker like Dasan McCullough reach the 144th overall pick and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick148
Rnd5
Lathan Ransom
No drama and no debate, Lathan Ransom went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick150
Rnd5
Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham in pick 150 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick151
Rnd5
Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart at pick No. 151 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick157
Rnd5
Steve Linton
Steve Linton in the 157th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick161
Rnd6
Sean Martin
A reach for Sean Martin in slot 161; a little patience would have been rewarded. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick164
Rnd6
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
This one needs a full-page explanation: Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the Round 6 slot, miles early. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick170
Rnd6
Jordan James
Jordan James at the 170th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick171
Rnd6
Jake Johnson
A wild overpay on Jake Johnson in No. 171, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick178
Rnd6
Eugene Asante
Eugene Asante at Round 6, Pick 18 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick179
Rnd6
Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at the 179th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180
Rnd6
Dominic Lovett
A straight-up fair deal on Dominic Lovett at slot 180, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick194
Rnd7
Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in No. 194 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick195
Rnd7
Jaylin Noel
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaylin Noel in Round 7, Pick 3. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick197
Rnd7
Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. in the Round 7 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick200
Rnd7
Khris Bogle
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Khris Bogle. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick207
Rnd7
Jalon Daniels
They took Jalon Daniels at par in pick No. 207, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick212
Rnd7
E.J. Smith
A big swing on E.J. Smith at the 212th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick214
Rnd7
Chris Tyree
The board had cheaper options than Chris Tyree at the 214th pick, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick222
Rnd7
Caullin Lacy
They left a pile of value on the table to take Caullin Lacy this early at pick No. 222. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
