Draft Grade — Cowboys

Grand theft in the 112th pick: the Cowboys steal Scott and grade out a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Keionte Scott, the No. 60 name on the board, stolen at pick 112. No fireworks, but a solid B.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Fisher pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese at the Round 1 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick20 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In No. 20 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick92 Rnd3 Christen Miller
They will replay Christen Miller at the 92nd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott in Round 4, Pick 12 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kaytron Allen
Good price on Kaytron Allen in the 152nd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick177 Rnd5 Malik Benson
They barely believed it either: Malik Benson still on the board at pick 177. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
The board had Aamil Wagner higher than slot 180, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick218 Rnd7 Aiden Fisher
They jumped the gun on Aiden Fisher, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
