FutureB-
Larceny in the 169th overall pick lands the Cowboys a D-, Klubnik and all. When a board-topper like Cade Klubnik slides to pick No. 169, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.
Every board in the league had Stackhouse lower, and that gap is the story. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Cowboys indulged a want in Gillotte while a need in tight end stayed open.
They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Nic Scourton
In the 25th overall pick they get a problem off the edge. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
They paid a round early for Aireontae Ersery in the Round 2 slot, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick61
Rnd2
Nicholas Singleton
A reach on Nicholas Singleton in pick 61; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick63
Rnd2
Josh Simmons
They liked Josh Simmons enough to skip the value, taking him in the 63rd pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66
Rnd3
Ashton Gillotte
A surprising call. With tight end still to address, they spent Round 3, Pick 2 on Ashton Gillotte, an edge rusher they were not short of.
Pick70
Rnd3
Evan Stewart
A big swing on Evan Stewart at pick No. 70, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick78
Rnd3
Danny Stutsman
This one needs a full-page explanation: Danny Stutsman in No. 78, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in slot 90 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick102
Rnd4
J.Michael Sturdivant
Value said wait; J.Michael Sturdivant in pick No. 102 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Davison Igbinosun. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick153
Rnd5
Shemar Turner
A premium they did not need to pay, Shemar Turner a notch or two before his time. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick169
Rnd5
Cade Klubnik
They barely believed it either: Cade Klubnik still on the board at the 169th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick170
Rnd5
Hunter Wohler
They took Hunter Wohler at par in No. 170, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick171
Rnd5
Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in slot 171 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
