Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureC
The Cowboys won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B. There is reaching, and then there is Que Robinson at slot 152. The Cowboys jumped the board by 95 and dared it to prove them wrong. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
Getting Stout where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Cordell Volson deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.
They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In No. 22 they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46
Rnd2
Josh Conerly Jr.
A slide stopped in the 46th pick, with Josh Conerly Jr. worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick49
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
By-the-book stuff, Alfred Collins at pick 49 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick55
Rnd2
Carson Schwesinger
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Carson Schwesinger well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76
Rnd3
Quinn Ewers
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Quinn Ewers. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jayden Higgins
They barely believed it either: Jayden Higgins still on the board at Round 4, Pick 16. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick118
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo is a better player than No. 118 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick150
Rnd5
Cody Simon
Cody Simon in the 150th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick152
Rnd5
Que Robinson
Que Robinson at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick170
Rnd5
Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in the 170th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick172
Rnd5
Jack Nelson
Steal is underselling it; Jack Nelson at slot 172 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick174
Rnd5
CJ West
This one needs a full-page explanation: CJ West in pick 174, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick190
Rnd6
Nick Nash
Taking Nick Nash in pick No. 190 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick211
Rnd6
Raheim Sanders
Somehow Raheim Sanders was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 33, and they pounced on premier running back value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick249
Rnd7
Upton Stout
A safety of that caliber at pick 249 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick253
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
They reached into another round for Thor Griffith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
