Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jasheen Davis at pick No. 174 is 186 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

On value alone, Higgins makes the weekend a net positive. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
The board had Ashton Jeanty higher than slot 12, and the running back fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick55 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Matthew Golden in the Round 2 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
By-the-book stuff, Omarr Norman-Lott at Round 3, Pick 12 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 86th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
Somehow Carson Schwesinger was still sitting there in the 150th overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
They barely believed it either: Lathan Ransom still on the board at pick 170. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick172 Rnd5 Xavier Scott
Xavier Scott in slot 172 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis at the 174th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick177 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at No. 190 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick201 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick211 Rnd6 KJ Jefferson
A wild overpay on KJ Jefferson in pick 211, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
The board fumbled Jay Higgins all the way to the 220th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick249 Rnd7 Kaden Prather
Kaden Prather at pick No. 249 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
