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

The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took KJ Jefferson at pick No. 249 regardless, 100 picks early.

Cornelius at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

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 lead back with juice at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in pick 44 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
They took Omarr Norman-Lott at par in pick No. 76, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick150 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jack Kiser. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell in the 172nd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at pick No. 174 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylen Reed at the 190th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
A clean, defensible pick in the 211th pick with a little surplus value in Jordan Hancock. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick249 Rnd7 KJ Jefferson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, KJ Jefferson well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
