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. A weekend to file away and forget, and an F to match.

So much rides on Shedeur Sanders that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The verdict is harsh because the weekend was, and there is little to argue.

In the 1st overall pick they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.

In pick 2 they get a lead back with juice. A real need, handled.
R1.3 · Pick 3 · Shedeur Sanders · QB · rank 3

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Kelvin Banks Jr. · OT · rank 4
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.13 · Pick 13 · Jahdae Barron · CB · rank 14
In slot 13 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
