Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureA
The Cowboys turned the phones into found money: B+. The Nazir Stackhouse selection is the head-turner. The Cowboys reached 35 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Giddens falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Mykel Williams
In pick 25 they get a bendy edge with upside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick44
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at the 44th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76
Rnd3
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
A reach for Dylan Fairchild in Round 3, Pick 25; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
They paid a round early for O'Donnell Fortune in the 139th overall pick, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick149
Rnd5
Damien Martinez
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Damien Martinez. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171
Rnd5
Jaylen Reed
They jumped the gun on Jaylen Reed, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick174
Rnd5
Nazir Stackhouse
They reached into another round for Nazir Stackhouse, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick187
Rnd6
DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens is a better player than Round 6, Pick 11 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick204
Rnd6
R.J. Mickens
The board had cheaper options than R.J. Mickens at the 204th overall pick, and it noticed. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick211
Rnd6
KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They read the board right and KeAndre Lambert-Smith was the payoff at pick No. 211. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick236
Rnd7
Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in No. 236 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick239
Rnd7
Zeek Biggers
A conviction pick on Zeek Biggers at the Round 7 slot that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241
Rnd7
Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in pick 241 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247
Rnd7
Donovan Smith
They reached a country mile for Donovan Smith at slot 247, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
