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

Some picks age like wine; Jacob Dobbs at Round 7, Pick 12 will need to, sitting 87 spots clear of his grade. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Shedeur Sanders is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. Getting Styles where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick 3 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick4 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In the 4th pick they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick5 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 5th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
No edge and no loss on Omarion Hampton in No. 35; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick65 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
A straight-up fair deal on Ajani Cornelius at Round 3, Pick 1, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68 Rnd3 Noah Thomas
Value said wait; Noah Thomas in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100 Rnd4 Akheem Mesidor
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Akheem Mesidor. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick101 Rnd4 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart at No. 101 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick111 Rnd4 Wyatt Milum
They paid sticker price for Wyatt Milum in the 111th overall pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Reuben Fatheree II
Reuben Fatheree II in the 113th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Marques Cox
Marques Cox at pick 126 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
This one needs a full-page explanation: J.C. Davis in Round 4, Pick 31, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick128 Rnd4 Alfred Collins
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Alfred Collins well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in pick No. 132 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133 Rnd5 Roman Hemby
They paid up for Roman Hemby at the Round 5 slot when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick145 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at slot 145 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick146 Rnd5 Aydan White
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Aydan White in Round 5, Pick 18. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick150 Rnd5 Maxwell Hairston
They let Maxwell Hairston come to them and pounced at pick 150. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick151 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at the 151st pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jordan James
A big swing on Jordan James at pick No. 158, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159 Rnd5 Theo Wease Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Theo Wease Jr. in the 159th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Aubrey Burks
Good price on Aubrey Burks in No. 160, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick161 Rnd6 Jaishawn Barham
A premium they did not need to pay, Jaishawn Barham a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162 Rnd6 Steve Linton
Steve Linton in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick163 Rnd6 Mason Taylor
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mason Taylor. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jake Johnson
Jake Johnson at the 177th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick196 Rnd7 Chris Tyree
They talked themselves into Chris Tyree at pick 196, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick200 Rnd7 Caullin Lacy
A wild overpay on Caullin Lacy in No. 200, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick204 Rnd7 Jacob Dobbs
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jacob Dobbs this early at Round 7, Pick 12. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick214 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
They jumped the gun on Nolan Rucci, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222 Rnd7 Devin Neal
They reached a country mile for Devin Neal at No. 222, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick223 Rnd7 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in the Round 7 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
