Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent pick 247 on Shilo Sanders, a name most had 39 spots down the list.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

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

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 12th pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They read the board right and Omarion Hampton was the payoff at pick 44. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
No edge and no loss on Isaiah Bond in slot 76; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Nothing to complain about; Logan Brown went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
A quiet steal in the Round 5 slot: Damien Martinez for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick174 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A reach for JJ Pegues in pick No. 174; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at slot 204 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick211 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Good price on Joshua Gray in the Round 6 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick239 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They let Cam Jackson come to them and pounced at the 239th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Value said wait; Shilo Sanders in No. 247 says they were not listening. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
