Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B.

The war room fell hard for Shilo Sanders, and it showed at No. 247: 38 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Starks. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a three-down runner at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in pick 44 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They went early on Deone Walker in the 76th pick, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Nick Nash
No drama and no debate, Nick Nash went about where he belonged in the 149th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
A tidy little value on Seth McLaughlin in the Round 5 slot, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
No edge and no loss on Quincy Riley in pick No. 174; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
Fair-plus on Caleb Rogers, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Jamon Dumas-Johnson at No. 239 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
They reached a country mile for Shilo Sanders at pick No. 247, and the board is aghast. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
