Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys let Stutsman fall and pounced. Final grade: D+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cowboys took Thor Griffith at pick No. 209, roughly 68 spots before his name belonged.

The Stutsman pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 12th overall pick they get a lead back with juice, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Luther Burden III in Round 2, Pick 1. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
They did well to land Malachi Moore in pick 76, just ahead of his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jaxson Dart
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaxson Dart. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Somehow Danny Stutsman was still sitting there in the 168th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in slot 170 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
They will replay Jay Higgins at Round 5, Pick 34 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Michael Taaffe
They robbed the room for Michael Taaffe here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick209 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thor Griffith in pick 209, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247 Rnd7 Micah Morris
They left a pile of value on the table to take Micah Morris this early at pick No. 247. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
