Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cowboys: B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: J.J. Weaver in Round 5, Pick 31, a good 224 spots before the room expected him.

The Ransom pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 12 they get a centerpiece for the ground game at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Kenneth Grant reach the 44th pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Somehow Jihaad Campbell was still sitting there in No. 76, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
They reached into another round for Cobee Bryant, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 J.J. Weaver
Value said wait; J.J. Weaver in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick172 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
A big swing on Luke Lachey at the 172nd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick174 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at slot 174 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick190 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Value with a capital V on Ollie Gordon II in No. 190, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tonka Hemingway in pick 211, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
They reached a country mile for Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins at Round 7, Pick 31, and the board is aghast. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
