The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Danny Stutsman, the No. 89 name on the board, sitting there at No. 123 like a gift left on the doorstep. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The Kiser pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.23 · Pick 23 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 21
They paid sticker price for Jalon Walker in slot 23, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 54
Value with a capital V on TreVeyon Henderson in No. 68, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Maxwell Hairston · CB · rank 76
They took Maxwell Hairston at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.31 · Pick 95 · Omarr Norman-Lott · DT · rank 74
Omarr Norman-Lott at pick 95 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.6 · Pick 107 · Donovan Jackson · OT · rank 85
Somehow Donovan Jackson was still sitting there in the 107th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.22 · Pick 123 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 89
Circle this one: Danny Stutsman at the 123rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.31 · Pick 132 · Tai Felton · WR · rank 103
Tai Felton in Round 4, Pick 31 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Billy Bowman Jr. · S · rank 121
They barely believed it either: Billy Bowman Jr. still on the board at pick No. 150. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.21 · Pick 160 · Tyler Shough · QB · rank 146
Tyler Shough in the 160th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Quincy Riley · CB · rank 177
Quincy Riley at Round 5, Pick 31 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Bhayshul Tuten · RB · rank 159
A quiet steal in the 172nd pick: Bhayshul Tuten for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Jonah Monheim · C · rank 147
Jonah Monheim in slot 174 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Jack Kiser · LB · rank 199
They jumped the gun on Jack Kiser, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · CJ West · DT · rank 212
CJ West in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · Jake Briningstool · TE · rank 240
The board had Jake Briningstool higher than pick 249, and the tight end fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
