Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jasheen Davis; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 112 spots ahead at pick No. 249.

Getting Ransom where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 12th pick they get a problem off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in slot 44 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
A real head-scratcher, Cam Skattebo in pick 76 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick150 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Value said wait; Dont'e Thornton Jr. in No. 150 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
They reached a country mile for Jack Kiser at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Anthony Belton in Round 5, Pick 33, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Circle this one: Lathan Ransom at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick190 Rnd6 Dillon Gabriel
They robbed the room for Dillon Gabriel here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
They barely believed it either: Jaylen Reed still on the board at pick 211. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis at slot 249 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
