Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA FutureD
The Cowboys let Stukes fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Treydan Stukes, the No. 72 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 92 like a gift left on the doorstep. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Thomas has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 6th overall pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In No. 20 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick92 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes in Round 3, Pick 28 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
They liked Bishop Fitzgerald enough to skip the value, taking him in the 115th pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kage Casey
They paid a round early for Kage Casey in pick 152, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick164 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris at the Round 5 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher at pick No. 180 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick218 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
A reach for Zavion Thomas in slot 218; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
