Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B-.

The Shilo Sanders pick is the one that will follow the Cowboys into the fall. They took him 40 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Gadsden II. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 12 they get a bell-cow for the offense, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos in slot 44 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
They paid sticker price for Luke Kandra in the 149th pick, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Dont'e Thornton Jr. at No. 174, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick204 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
Good price on Caleb Rogers in pick No. 204, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins slipping to No. 211 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick217 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in pick 217 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
They paid up for Jabbar Muhammad at the 239th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
