Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Larceny in slot 239 lands the Cowboys a B, Stout and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Upton Stout, slot 239, roughly 50 picks past where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

If Lundt pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In No. 20 they get a mismatch in the passing game. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They read the board right and Omarion Hampton was the payoff at the 44th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jaylin Noel
They jumped the gun on Jaylin Noel, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Good price on Carson Schwesinger in slot 76, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick85 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at Round 3, Pick 21 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick149 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
They left a pile of value on the table to take Chase Lundt this early at the Round 5 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at the 171st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at pick No. 174 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in the 204th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jalen McLeod
By-the-book stuff, Jalen McLeod at slot 208 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at Round 6, Pick 35 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick239 Rnd7 Upton Stout
Steal is underselling it; Upton Stout at pick No. 239 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick247 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
They liked Cody Lindenberg enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 247. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
