Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Ransom: B.

Somebody in the 248th overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Cowboys sat still while Lathan Ransom, the No. 109 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

They will need Jefferson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense. Their trades came out a wash either way.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In slot 12 they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at No. 44 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at pick 76 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick157 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Circle this one: Cam Skattebo at the 157th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick168 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
Somehow Carson Schwesinger was still sitting there in the 168th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Taking Jake Majors in Round 5, Pick 33 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173 Rnd5 Davin Vann
Value said wait; Davin Vann in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick186 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Oronde Gadsden II in pick No. 186, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick209 Rnd6 Xavier Truss
They reached into another round for Xavier Truss, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick213 Rnd6 KJ Jefferson
A big swing on KJ Jefferson at the 213th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick248 Rnd7 Lathan Ransom
They barely believed it either: Lathan Ransom still on the board at the 248th pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
