Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 112: the Cowboys steal Rodriguez and grade out a D-.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Cowboys shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If Miller pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Rodriguez falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In pick 12 they get a three-down second-level presence, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20 Rnd1 Akheem Mesidor
In the 20th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, even if it was a touch early.
Pick38 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Christen Miller at No. 38 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick92 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
The board had Elijah Sarratt higher than the 92nd pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
By-the-book stuff, Treydan Stukes at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at Round 4, Pick 12 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
No drama and no debate, Beau Stephens went about where he belonged in pick 152. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
No edge and no loss on Keagen Trost in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180 Rnd5 Matt Gulbin
Matt Gulbin in No. 180 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick218 Rnd7 Noah Whittington
Noah Whittington in pick No. 218 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
