Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Cowboys robbed the room for Stutsman. Final grade: B.

The Cowboys did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Danny Stutsman fell into slot 168. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Reaching for Prather left real value on the table behind him. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 12 they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at pick No. 44 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick74 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
Taking Deontae Lawson in Round 4, Pick 10 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jake Majors
They will replay Jake Majors at the 148th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at pick 168 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in No. 170 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Connor Colby
They paid sticker price for Connor Colby in the 171st pick, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner slipping to the Round 6 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187 Rnd6 Billy Bowman Jr.
The board fumbled Billy Bowman Jr. all the way to pick 187, and they scooped it up. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick209 Rnd6 Kaden Prather
Kaden Prather in slot 209 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
