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 pick 173, roughly 135 spots before his name belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Majors value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In No. 12 they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at the 44th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick76 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Steal is underselling it; Omarion Hampton at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in slot 148 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick168 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
They robbed the room for Smael Mondon Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Circle this one: Jake Majors at Round 5, Pick 33 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jasheen Davis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jasheen Davis this early at pick No. 173. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at Round 6, Pick 11 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick248 Rnd7 KJ Jefferson
A wild overpay on KJ Jefferson in pick 248, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
