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

The Cowboys bet big and early on Cam Skattebo, 34 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Warren. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge at fair value. More want than need.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach pick No. 44 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cam Skattebo in the 76th pick, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149 Rnd5 Riley Leonard
Somehow Riley Leonard was still sitting there in slot 149, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at No. 171 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
A clean, defensible pick in pick 174 with a little surplus value in Kyle Williams. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
Fair-plus on Tyler Cooper, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Good price on Joshua Gray in slot 211, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick239 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson slid further than he should have, and the 239th pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Teddye Buchanan. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
