Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cowboys: B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jasheen Davis, 171 picks early at slot 190.

Landing King that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at slot 12 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 44th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick150 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
Value said wait; JJ Pegues in No. 150 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick172 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Danny Stutsman in the 172nd overall pick, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
By-the-book stuff, Willie Lampkin at pick No. 173 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at the 174th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jasheen Davis
They reached a country mile for Jasheen Davis at pick No. 190, and the board is aghast. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick211 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in Round 6, Pick 33 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick236 Rnd7 Kobe King
Steal is underselling it; Kobe King at slot 236 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
A tidy bit of business in pick 249, where Seth McLaughlin graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
