Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jasheen Davis, 170 picks early at No. 190.

They banked enough surplus on Mondon Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 12th overall pick they get a workhorse for the backfield, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 2, Pick 12 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in No. 76 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150 Rnd5 Rylie Mills
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Rylie Mills at pick 150 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at slot 170 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jake Majors
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach pick No. 172 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
They barely believed it either: Sebastian Castro still on the board at the 174th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis at Round 6, Pick 12 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick211 Rnd6 KJ Jefferson
KJ Jefferson at No. 211 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick249 Rnd7 Smael Mondon Jr.
Taking Smael Mondon Jr. in slot 249 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
