Draft Grade — Cowboys

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Stukes: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cowboys were there to profit. Treydan Stukes, the No. 72 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 3 slot.

Every board in the league had Caldwell lower, and that gap is the story. The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
The board had Sonny Styles higher than slot 20, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
You do not let a cornerback like Treydan Stukes reach pick No. 92 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick120 Rnd4 Bud Clark
Bud Clark slipping to No. 120 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick152 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
Charles Demmings in the 152nd pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160 Rnd5 Drew Allar
They paid sticker price for Drew Allar in the 160th overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jeff Caldwell
A premium they did not need to pay, Jeff Caldwell a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick180 Rnd5 Dae'Quan Wright
Dae'Quan Wright in pick 180 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
