Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys robbed the room for Schwesinger. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. Carson Schwesinger sat on the board until pick No. 186, and the Cowboys did not need to be asked twice.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 12 they get a lead back with juice at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Walker at Round 2, Pick 12 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at No. 76 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Keon Sabb
They robbed the room for Keon Sabb here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick168 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
They took Willie Lampkin at par in slot 168, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Connor Colby
By-the-book stuff, Connor Colby at pick No. 170 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick173 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick186 Rnd6 Carson Schwesinger
A linebacker of that caliber at the 186th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jared Wilson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
A straight-up fair deal on Bryson Nesbit at the 247th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
