Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Daylen Everette; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 36 spots ahead at pick No. 85. A D+ that will need time and luck to look better.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Emmanwori steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

The Cowboys paired the rookies with proven help, Jerry Jeudy leading the way.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Mason Graham · DT · rank 7
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A real need, handled.
R1.10 · Pick 10 · Abdul Carter · DE-EDGE · rank 8
In the 10th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. More want than need.
R1.14 · Pick 14 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In pick 14 they get a three-down runner, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 25
Jalon Walker at slot 34 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Nick Emmanwori · S · rank 17
They barely believed it either: Nick Emmanwori still on the board at the 38th pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Kenneth Grant · DT · rank 26
Kenneth Grant at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Isaiah Bond · WR · rank 32
Nice patience on Isaiah Bond, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.28 · Pick 60 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 89
They reached into another round for Danny Stutsman, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.21 · Pick 85 · Daylen Everette · CB · rank 121
Daylen Everette at the 85th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.29 · Pick 93 · Jack Nelson · OT · rank 120
Jack Nelson at pick 93 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.13 · Pick 114 · Nicholas Singleton · RB · rank 103
Nicholas Singleton in No. 114 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.32 · Pick 133 · Raheim Sanders · RB · rank 147
Raheim Sanders at slot 133 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
