Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B+. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent pick No. 168 on Tyreak Sapp, a name most had 99 spots down the list.
Landing Ransom that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
A slide stopped in the Round 1 slot, with Ashton Jeanty worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick53
Rnd2
Tre Harris
They barely believed it either: Tre Harris still on the board at the 53rd pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Alfred Collins at Round 3, Pick 12 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84
Rnd3
Tyler Booker
Somehow Tyler Booker was still sitting there in No. 84, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148
Rnd5
Smael Mondon Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Smael Mondon Jr. reach pick No. 148 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick168
Rnd5
Tyreak Sapp
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tyreak Sapp in the 168th overall pick, miles early. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick170
Rnd5
Jaeden Roberts
A tidy bit of business in the 170th pick, where Jaeden Roberts graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173
Rnd5
Lathan Ransom
Steal is underselling it; Lathan Ransom at pick No. 173 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick186
Rnd6
Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick209
Rnd6
KJ Jefferson
KJ Jefferson in slot 209 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235
Rnd7
Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at the 235th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick248
Rnd7
Elijah Arroyo
Circle this one: Elijah Arroyo at pick 248 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
