Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
The Cowboys robbed the room for Higgins. Final grade: B.

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Jay Higgins, the No. 61 name on the board, sitting there at the 149th pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

Wedig has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value.
Pick42 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Value with a capital V on Luther Burden III in pick No. 42, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
They robbed the room for Omarion Hampton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick114 Rnd4 LT Overton
LT Overton in No. 114 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Circle this one: Jay Higgins at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Keon Sabb
You do not let a safety like Keon Sabb reach pick 169 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick170 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Steal is underselling it; Deontae Lawson at the 170th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Donovan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Jackson at the 171st pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at the 186th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Trey Wedig
Trey Wedig in the 209th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
