Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

ValueC+

FutureA+
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D tells the story. Somebody took the Cowboys to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. It grades a D, and the process earned it.
The cost of the Miller reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In pick 27 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30
Rnd1
Christen Miller
In No. 30 they get a disruptive interior force, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick49
Rnd2
A.J. Haulcy
A straight-up fair deal on A.J. Haulcy at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick58
Rnd2
Zachariah Branch
No drama and no debate, Zachariah Branch went about where he belonged in pick No. 58. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92
Rnd3
Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes in the 92nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94
Rnd3
Markel Bell
Markel Bell at Round 3, Pick 30 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112
Rnd4
Julian Neal
No edge and no loss on Julian Neal in the 112th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick129
Rnd4
Mikail Kamara
Mikail Kamara at slot 129 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick152
Rnd5
Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180
Rnd5
Keagen Trost
By-the-book stuff, Keagen Trost at pick 180 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick183
Rnd6
Red Murdock
Red Murdock at slot 183 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
