Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueC NeedB+ TradesF FutureB+
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The phones were a trap the Cowboys kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

Reaching for Turner left real value on the table behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and cornerback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26 Rnd1 Emery Jones
In the 26th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Nic Anderson
They went early on Nic Anderson in pick No. 46, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Danny Stutsman
They paid sticker price for Danny Stutsman in pick 58, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62 Rnd2 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne in No. 62 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick78 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Shemar Turner. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick79 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in slot 79 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at Round 3, Pick 26 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick91 Rnd3 J. Michael Sturdivant
They talked themselves into J. Michael Sturdivant at the 91st pick, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick111 Rnd4 Donovan Smith
No drama and no debate, Donovan Smith went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 15. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122 Rnd4 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 122 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick154 Rnd5 Reuben Fatheree II
A straight-up fair deal on Reuben Fatheree II at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
