Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Cowboys let Davis fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

Whoever sat across the table from the Cowboys should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.

The Davis value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They will need Jones to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Jalen Ramsey pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick53 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 21 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They took Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at par in the 56th pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They jumped the gun on Dominick Puni, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A reach on Cedric Gray in the Round 4 slot; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick158 Rnd5 James Williams
They barely believed it either: James Williams still on the board at pick No. 158. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in pick 174 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
Steal is underselling it; Isaiah Davis at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
They will replay Aki Ogunbiyi at slot 217 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
A tidy little value on Joshua Cephus in No. 245, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
