Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Cowboys robbed the room for Sanders. Final grade: A-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Raheim Sanders, pick 211, roughly 31 picks past where he belonged.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Cowboys paired the rookies with proven help, Jaxon Smith-Njigba leading the way. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Tyler Warren and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 20th overall pick they get a moveable chess piece at tight end at fair value.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach Round 2, Pick 12 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
They did well to land Omarr Norman-Lott in slot 76, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A safety of that caliber at No. 117 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick149 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson in pick No. 149 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
No edge and no loss on Jonah Monheim in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at pick 189 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick196 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. is a better player than the 196th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick204 Rnd6 CJ West
They let CJ West come to them and pounced at pick No. 204. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick211 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
The board fumbled Raheim Sanders all the way to slot 211, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
A tidy little value on Caleb Ransaw in the 217th overall pick, a step better than break-even. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick239 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens in pick 239 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
By-the-book stuff, Jabbar Muhammad at Round 7, Pick 31 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
