Draft Grade — Cowboys

FutureB+
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Judkins: D. Call it larceny. Quinshon Judkins sat on the board until the Round 5 slot, and the Cowboys did not need to be asked twice.
They are betting Allar proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.
They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and cornerback is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In the 11th pick they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick42
Rnd2
Xavier Restrepo
Taking Xavier Restrepo in pick 42 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick60
Rnd2
DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell in Round 2, Pick 28 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71
Rnd3
Drew Allar
Drew Allar in slot 71 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75
Rnd3
Kenneth Grant
A tidy little value on Kenneth Grant in pick No. 75, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91
Rnd3
Sonny Styles
Circle this one: Sonny Styles at No. 91 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick107
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
Nice patience on Danny Stutsman, who had no business lasting to the 107th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick129
Rnd4
Tyleik Williams
They will replay Tyleik Williams at pick No. 129 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick149
Rnd5
Nicholas Singleton
You do not let a running back like Nicholas Singleton reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick169
Rnd5
Theo Wease Jr.
A reach for Theo Wease Jr. in the 169th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170
Rnd5
J.Michael Sturdivant
They talked themselves into J.Michael Sturdivant at No. 170, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171
Rnd5
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in the 171st overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick186
Rnd6
Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at slot 186 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick209
Rnd6
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at Round 6, Pick 34 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
