Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cowboys. The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, 85 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
That Stutsman pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The trade work was a quiet net positive.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a bell-cow for the offense, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick44
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at the 44th pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick78
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
Nothing to complain about; Jayden Higgins went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148
Rnd5
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in pick No. 148 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick151
Rnd5
Jake Majors
Steal is underselling it; Jake Majors at slot 151 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168
Rnd5
Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings at pick 168 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick170
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
You do not let a tight end like Oronde Gadsden II reach the 170th pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick173
Rnd5
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in pick No. 173, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick186
Rnd6
Miles Frazier
A real head-scratcher, Miles Frazier in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick209
Rnd6
Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at slot 209 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick248
Rnd7
Micah Morris
They reached a country mile for Micah Morris at pick 248, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
