Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Sanker: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jonas Sanker, Round 7, Pick 31, roughly 111 picks past where he belonged.

Judkins has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 12th pick they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Quinshon Judkins
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Quinshon Judkins. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at the 76th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at No. 149 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel in pick 174 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
Steal is underselling it; RJ Harvey at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick211 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in Round 6, Pick 35 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217 Rnd7 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at pick No. 217 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
Taking Jonas Sanker in Round 7, Pick 23 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker in slot 247 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
