Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Jasheen Davis, 145 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Bowman Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 12 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Elic Ayomanor
Nothing to complain about; Elic Ayomanor went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
No edge and no loss on Omarr Norman-Lott in pick 76; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick96 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Value with a capital V on Carson Schwesinger in Round 3, Pick 32, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
They jumped the gun on Oronde Gadsden II, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jake Majors
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach the 150th overall pick and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Tyler Cooper
They paid sticker price for Tyler Cooper in pick 170, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jasheen Davis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jasheen Davis this early at the 172nd pick. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Good price on Jaylen Reed in Round 6, Pick 15, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at No. 211 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick237 Rnd7 KJ Jefferson
They reached into another round for KJ Jefferson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick249 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II at pick No. 249 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
