Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Cowboys let Sadiq fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Kenyon Sadiq, the No. 19 name on the board, sitting there at the 180th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Every board in the league had Parker II lower, and that gap is the story. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Keldric Faulk. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick22 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In No. 22 they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick86 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
A reach for Brian Parker II in slot 86; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price in the 92nd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick112 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
Taking Sonny Styles in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Ja'Kobi Lane
You do not let a wide receiver like Ja'Kobi Lane reach pick No. 152 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177 Rnd5 Akheem Mesidor
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Akheem Mesidor in Round 5, Pick 37, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick180 Rnd5 Kenyon Sadiq
Circle this one: Kenyon Sadiq at the 180th pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick204 Rnd6 Michael Taaffe
A safety of that caliber at the 204th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick218 Rnd7 Connor Lew
Steal is underselling it; Connor Lew at No. 218 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
