Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB
Larceny in the Round 5 slot lands the Cowboys a B, Stutsman and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let Danny Stutsman slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at slot 150. Highway robbery. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

If Bailey pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 14th overall pick they get a workhorse for the backfield, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
Matthew Golden in pick No. 44 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
A straight-up fair deal on Omarr Norman-Lott at slot 76, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick80 Rnd3 David Bailey
A big swing on David Bailey at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jake Majors
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Majors in No. 148, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at the 150th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
They did well to land Shemar Turner in pick 168, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick170 Rnd5 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at Round 5, Pick 33 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at the 173rd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
A safety of that caliber at pick 186 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick209 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick248 Rnd7 KJ Jefferson
KJ Jefferson in the 248th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
