Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
The Cowboys robbed the room for Sadiq. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kenyon Sadiq, the No. 22 name on the board, stolen at slot 226. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick21 Rnd1 David Bailey
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get juice off the edge. Need was not the driver here.
Pick26 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 26 they get a three-down second-level presence at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick110 Rnd4 Mansoor Delane
They barely believed it either: Mansoor Delane still on the board at the 110th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Colton Hood
Taking Colton Hood in pick No. 114 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Sonny Styles in the 125th pick, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick153 Rnd5 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at slot 153 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick179 Rnd5 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in pick 179 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick181 Rnd5 Cashius Howell
They will replay Cashius Howell at No. 181 for years; that is how good the value is. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick199 Rnd6 Gabe Jacas
A edge rusher of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 18 is the definition of value, full stop. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick220 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
You do not let an edge rusher like Akheem Mesidor reach the 220th pick and blink. They did not. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick225 Rnd7 Kayden McDonald
The board fumbled Kayden McDonald all the way to the 225th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick226 Rnd7 Kenyon Sadiq
Steal is underselling it; Kenyon Sadiq at pick 226 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick242 Rnd7 Trevor Goosby
Trevor Goosby at slot 242 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick244 Rnd7 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at pick No. 244 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
