Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Stout should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Upton Stout, the No. 192 name on the board, in pick No. 217. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. They are betting Hancock proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 12 they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Somehow Luther Burden III was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
They did well to land Carson Schwesinger in Round 3, Pick 12, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at the 149th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Nice patience on Bhayshul Tuten, who had no business lasting to No. 174. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
A wild overpay on Jordan Hancock in the 204th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick211 Rnd6 CJ West
Taking CJ West in slot 211 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick217 Rnd7 Upton Stout
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 217 is the definition of value, full stop. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick239 Rnd7 Shemar James
Shemar James at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
They jumped the gun on Zeek Biggers, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
