Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Sarratt: B.

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Elijah Sarratt, the No. 48 name on the board, sitting there at Round 5, Pick 15 like a gift left on the doorstep. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a double-digit-sack hope, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick28 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick No. 28 they get a ballhawk on the back end, outstanding value to boot.
Pick115 Rnd4 Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick155 Rnd5 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt at the 155th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick178 Rnd5 CJ Baxter
Taking CJ Baxter in pick 178 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick179 Rnd5 Kage Casey
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 179th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick216 Rnd7 Lander Barton
Steal is underselling it; Lander Barton at slot 216 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick229 Rnd7 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at No. 229 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
