Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B- to prove it.

There is reaching, and then there is Shilo Sanders at pick No. 239. The Cowboys jumped the board by 46 and dared it to prove them wrong.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. Jeanty falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at No. 12 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at pick No. 44 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They paid up for Deone Walker at the 76th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at Round 5, Pick 11 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
Good price on RJ Harvey in the 171st pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They liked Dont'e Thornton Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 174. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
They did well to land Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in the 204th pick, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Karene Reid
Karene Reid at Round 6, Pick 35 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick239 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
They reached into another round for Shilo Sanders, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick247 Rnd7 Brandon Adams
They jumped the gun on Brandon Adams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
