Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesC- FutureB-
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Stutsman from sliding. Grade: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Danny Stutsman, the 186th overall pick, roughly 99 picks past where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They are betting Wedig proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
Good price on Abdul Carter in slot 12, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick46 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Kenneth Grant in No. 46, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
They barely believed it either: Kaleb Johnson still on the board at pick 76. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
Circle this one: Deontae Lawson at the 115th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Nothing to complain about; Savion Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
They will replay Kevin Winston Jr. at pick No. 148 for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick168 Rnd5 Eli Stowers
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Eli Stowers. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick170 Rnd5 Addison West
Addison West in Round 5, Pick 33 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick173 Rnd5 Theo Wease Jr.
They talked themselves into Theo Wease Jr. at the 173rd pick, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick186 Rnd6 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at the 186th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick209 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Steal is underselling it; Raheim Sanders at pick 209 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick232 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Thor Griffith. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
They reached into another round for Trey Wedig, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
