Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Cowboys robbed the room for Stutsman. Final grade: A-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Danny Stutsman, pick No. 168, roughly 78 picks past where he belonged. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

Reaching for Stackhouse left real value on the table behind him. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Ashton Jeanty and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 12 they get an every-down engine for the run game, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
The board fumbled Jihaad Campbell all the way to Round 3, Pick 12, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
You do not let a safety like Andrew Mukuba reach pick No. 90 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 115th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A safety of that caliber at the 148th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick150 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
They reached into another round for Nazir Stackhouse, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in pick 170 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick186 Rnd6 James Burnip
Taking James Burnip in Round 6, Pick 11 is close to grand larceny; a specialist that good had no business lasting this long. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick209 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
They robbed the room for Bhayshul Tuten here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool is a better player than No. 248 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
