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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cowboys started one anyway for Chip Trayanum, 93 picks ahead of schedule. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

That is an edge rusher worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In slot 26 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Isaiah Bond for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in No. 62 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73 Rnd3 Josh Simmons
No drama and no debate, Josh Simmons went about where he belonged in pick No. 73. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
By-the-book stuff, Nicholas Singleton at the 87th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90 Rnd3 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at the 90th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Riley Leonard
They took Riley Leonard at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner is a better player than No. 122 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick154 Rnd5 Trey Zuhn III
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Trey Zuhn III in the 154th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186 Rnd6 Chip Trayanum
A wild overpay on Chip Trayanum in Round 6, Pick 26, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
