Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cowboys would have aced it. Gabe Jacas at the Round 5 slot is 119 spots clear of where he belonged.

Mondon Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 12th pick they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
No drama and no debate, Matthew Golden went about where he belonged in pick 44. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in Round 3, Pick 12 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
They reached a country mile for Ollie Gordon II at the 148th overall pick, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick168 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
No edge and no loss on Willie Lampkin in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170 Rnd5 Gabe Jacas
Gabe Jacas at No. 170 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick173 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at No. 173 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
