Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cowboys would have aced it. Jasheen Davis at slot 247 is 97 spots clear of where he belonged.

Landing Belton that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 12 they get a three-down runner at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
The board fumbled Nick Emmanwori all the way to No. 44, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jack Bech
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jack Bech in the Round 3 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in the 149th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
They barely believed it either: Anthony Belton still on the board at the 171st overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
A reasonable price with a little left over, Quincy Riley in pick No. 174. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A reach for Jamon Dumas-Johnson in the 204th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick211 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Steal is underselling it; Cobee Bryant at No. 211 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick239 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
They took Donovan Smith at par in pick 239, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
Value said wait; Jasheen Davis in the 247th overall pick says they were not listening. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
