Overall

FutureB+
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D tells the story. The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for KJ Jefferson, 124 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.
Stutsman at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.
The Winston Jr. pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at cornerback and tight end. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Wyatt Milum
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in the 44th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick49
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
The board fumbled Kenneth Grant all the way to pick No. 49, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick55
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 55th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick57
Rnd2
Kyle Kennard
The board had cheaper options than Kyle Kennard at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick74
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick 74 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
They read the board right and Andrew Mukuba was the payoff at pick 76. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick81
Rnd3
Kevin Winston Jr.
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Kevin Winston Jr. at safety with cornerback and tight end open.
Pick109
Rnd4
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at No. 109 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick112
Rnd4
Savion Williams
Savion Williams at slot 112 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117
Rnd4
Tyler Cooper
Tyler Cooper at the 117th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 5, Pick 11 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168
Rnd5
Danny Stutsman
Steal is underselling it; Danny Stutsman at the 168th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170
Rnd5
Cam Skattebo
They will replay Cam Skattebo at pick No. 170 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173
Rnd5
KJ Jefferson
They reached into another round for KJ Jefferson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick186
Rnd6
Amari Kight
A wild overpay on Amari Kight in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick209
Rnd6
Lander Barton
Circle this one: Lander Barton at the 209th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick213
Rnd6
Raheim Sanders
A running back of that caliber at No. 213 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick248
Rnd7
Tim Smith
Tim Smith at pick 248 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
