Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cowboys took Jasheen Davis at slot 249, roughly 112 spots before his name belonged.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jones Jr.. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 12 they get an every-down engine for the run game, and a steal at that.
Pick44 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
They paid sticker price for Matthew Golden in Round 2, Pick 12, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in the 76th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
They read the board right and Jay Higgins was the payoff at slot 150. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at No. 170 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick172 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
This one needs a full-page explanation: Hayden Conner in the Round 5 slot, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Robert Spears-Jennings
Circle this one: Robert Spears-Jennings at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick190 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at the 190th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser slipping to slot 211 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
They talked themselves into Jasheen Davis at Round 7, Pick 31, and the board did not agree. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
