Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureA
The Cowboys robbed the room for Ransom. Final grade: B+.

When a board-topper like Lathan Ransom slides to pick 173, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

They are betting Robinson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in pick No. 44 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in slot 76 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick109 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at the 109th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
They went early on Ty Robinson in pick 149, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick171 Rnd5 CJ West
A reach on CJ West in No. 171; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
A safety of that caliber at the 173rd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at Round 5, Pick 36 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
