Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cowboys to a D-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Markis Deal; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 125 spots ahead at No. 225.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Neal pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a bendy edge with upside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick20 Rnd1 Gennings Dunker
In slot 20 they get a building block for the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
A quiet steal in pick 49: Sonny Styles for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick56 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman slid further than he should have, and pick No. 56 is lovely value for the safety. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick75 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick91 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
No drama and no debate, Nicholas Singleton went about where he belonged in the 91st overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Julian Neal
The board fumbled Julian Neal all the way to slot 112, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick150 Rnd5 Vincent Anthony Jr.
They reached a country mile for Vincent Anthony Jr. at pick No. 150, and the board is aghast. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick177 Rnd5 Duce Robinson
Duce Robinson in the 177th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick181 Rnd5 Lander Barton
A reach on Lander Barton in the Round 5 slot; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick196 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at Round 6, Pick 15 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick221 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
They paid up for Luke Altmyer at pick 221 when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225 Rnd7 Markis Deal
They reached into another round for Markis Deal, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
