Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureD-
Grand theft in slot 148: the Cowboys steal Judkins and grade out a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cowboys watched Quinshon Judkins slide 75 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They will need Williams to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a bell-cow for the offense, and a steal at that.
Pick20 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In No. 20 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
The board fumbled T.J. Sanders all the way to pick 44, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
No drama and no debate, Jayden Higgins went about where he belonged in the 76th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at pick No. 148 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Simeon Barrow Jr.
No edge and no loss on Simeon Barrow Jr. in slot 170; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick173 Rnd5 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in the 173rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jahvaree Ritzie
A big swing on Jahvaree Ritzie at pick 186, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick209 Rnd6 PJ Williams
They left a pile of value on the table to take PJ Williams this early at the 209th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
They will replay Jared Wilson at slot 248 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
