Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys kept it disciplined and banked a B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Akheem Mesidor at No. 209, a reach of 124 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Stutsman pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty in pick No. 12 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick44 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
A tidy bit of business in slot 44, where Derrick Harmon graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
No edge and no loss on Jayden Higgins in Round 3, Pick 12; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts in the 148th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick168 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at pick 168 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A wild overpay on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in the 170th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Steal is underselling it; Sonny Styles at pick 173 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick186 Rnd6 Brandon Adams
Brandon Adams in No. 186 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick209 Rnd6 Akheem Mesidor
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Akheem Mesidor well ahead of where he belonged. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick248 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
The board fumbled Terrance Ferguson all the way to Round 7, Pick 32, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
