Draft Grade — Cowboys

FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cowboys to a D+. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cowboys would have aced it. Emery Jones Jr. at slot 107 is 86 spots clear of where he belonged.
They banked enough surplus on Stutsman to cover a lot of smaller sins. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.
A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. With cornerback, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.
In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In the 11th pick they get a load in the middle. A real need, handled.
Pick54
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at slot 54 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick71
Rnd3
Jake Majors
They did well to land Jake Majors in the 71st overall pick, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75
Rnd3
Tyleik Williams
A tidy little value on Tyleik Williams in pick 75, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
They reached into another round for Jalon Walker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick107
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Andrew Mukuba in No. 111 leaves cornerback, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick149
Rnd5
Zane Durant
Zane Durant at the Round 5 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169
Rnd5
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in pick No. 169 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170
Rnd5
Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at slot 170 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171
Rnd5
Theo Wease Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Theo Wease Jr. at the 171st overall pick, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick186
Rnd6
Antwane Wells Jr.
A reach for Antwane Wells Jr. in Round 6, Pick 11; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick209
Rnd6
Raheim Sanders
They will replay Raheim Sanders at pick 209 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick235
Rnd7
J.Michael Sturdivant
The board fumbled J.Michael Sturdivant all the way to the 235th pick, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
