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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cowboys started one anyway for Shilo Sanders, 44 picks ahead of schedule. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. That Brooks pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick 12 they get a press-man option on the boundary. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at slot 76 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at the 149th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They liked Dont'e Thornton Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 174. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick204 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
A premium they did not need to pay, R.J. Mickens a notch or two before his time. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick211 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
They read the board right and Tahj Brooks was the payoff at slot 217. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
No edge and no loss on Cam Jackson in pick 239; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick247 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Value said wait; Shilo Sanders in Round 7, Pick 31 says they were not listening. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
