Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureD-
A passer of the future in Sanders, and a F, for the Cowboys.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Cowboys, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

Everything downstream of Shedeur Sanders depends on Shedeur Sanders, and the building knows it. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. If Colby pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Emmanwori. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

In the end, a class that has to defy its grades just to matter.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In pick No. 6 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick20 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 20th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
In pick 25 they get a lead back with juice. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at No. 44 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick51 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
No edge and no loss on Alfred Collins in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
A quiet steal in the 122nd pick: Anthony Belton for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 11 with a little surplus value in Trevor Etienne. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick166 Rnd5 Connor Colby
They went early on Connor Colby in slot 166, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
They paid sticker price for Quincy Riley in pick 171, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in pick No. 174 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick197 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
A premium they did not need to pay, Nazir Stackhouse a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick204 Rnd6 Howard Cross III
They paid up for Howard Cross III at Round 6, Pick 28 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick205 Rnd6 Simeon Barrow Jr.
Simeon Barrow Jr. in slot 205 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
By-the-book stuff, Ty Hamilton at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
