Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Stout: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cowboys watched Upton Stout slide 55 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In No. 12 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
Nothing to complain about; Jaxson Dart went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in pick 76 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Terrance Ferguson
They barely believed it either: Terrance Ferguson still on the board at Round 5, Pick 11. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174 Rnd5 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They will replay Antwaun Powell-Ryland at slot 204 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick211 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
Somehow Ryan Fitzgerald was still sitting there in the 211th pick, and they pounced on premier specialist value. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick217 Rnd7 Chase Lundt
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Chase Lundt in the 217th overall pick, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Connor Colby
Connor Colby at pick No. 239 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick247 Rnd7 Upton Stout
Steal is underselling it; Upton Stout at pick 247 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
