Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesC FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jalen Travis, 79 picks early at pick 186. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 16 they get a three-down runner, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
The board fumbled Jalon Walker all the way to the 44th pick, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick113 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in pick 113 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
They barely believed it either: Kevin Winston Jr. still on the board at the 148th overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick151 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in No. 151 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in slot 168 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
They robbed the room for Mello Dotson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick173 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
The board had cheaper options than Nazir Stackhouse at pick No. 173, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham in Round 6, Pick 34 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
You do not let a tight end like Brant Kuithe reach the 248th pick and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
