Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA
The Cowboys left with their quarterback, and a D+ to match.

The Cowboys lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

The whole projection now runs through Shedeur Sanders; hit there and everything else looks smarter. The Smith steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

The Will Levis deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick 12 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They barely believed it either: Omarion Hampton still on the board at the 55th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick86 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in slot 86 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They took Jake Majors at par in pick No. 102, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at the 119th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick150 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
They will replay Brashard Smith at No. 150 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in slot 170 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Oronde Gadsden II in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Somehow Logan Brown was still sitting there in pick No. 174, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick190 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at Round 6, Pick 12 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
Taking JJ Pegues in No. 211 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jaishawn Barham
They read the board right and Jaishawn Barham was the payoff at the 249th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
