You build a draft on nights like this. Danny Stutsman had no business being available in No. 171, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
The cost of the White III reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 12 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 44 is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Nicholas Singleton in Round 3, Pick 12, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Jordan Burch at No. 150 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor itch, scratched.
They reached a country mile for Ricky White III at pick 169, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A reach for Logan Jones in the 170th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Danny Stutsman at the 171st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and DJ Giddens at the Round 6 slot is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Cody Simon in Round 6, Pick 34 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Circle this one: Jake Briningstool at the 247th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
