Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Cowboys won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Quintayvious Hutchins at pick 152, a reach of 49 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That McNeil-Warren pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 20 they get a three-down second-level presence, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dani Dennis-Sutton in No. 47, miles early. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick78 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Taking Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick92 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes in slot 92 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Tim Keenan III
They reached a country mile for Tim Keenan III at Round 4, Pick 12, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Dametrious Crownover
Good price on Dametrious Crownover in pick 147, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152 Rnd5 Quintayvious Hutchins
A wild overpay on Quintayvious Hutchins in slot 152, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick177 Rnd5 Reggie Virgil
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 37, with Reggie Virgil worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
No drama and no debate, Kaleb Elarms-Orr went about where he belonged in the 180th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick187 Rnd6 Justin Jefferson
Justin Jefferson in the 187th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick246 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
Isaiah Nwokobia in pick 246 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick257 Rnd7 Adam Randall
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Adam Randall. A need, and now a little less of one.
