Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureB
The Cowboys fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. The tape said wait; the Cowboys did not. Jasheen Davis went at pick 251, a good 110 picks before the board was ready. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.
The Gabriel steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Adding Grover Stewart by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In the 14th overall pick they get a three-down runner, outstanding value to boot.
Pick54
Rnd2
Tre Harris
Tre Harris in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76
Rnd3
Deone Walker
They read the board right and Deone Walker was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 12. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick80
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in slot 80 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
No drama and no debate, Donovan Jackson went about where he belonged in the 87th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick150
Rnd5
Jack Nelson
Steal is underselling it; Jack Nelson at No. 150 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Oronde Gadsden II at No. 152 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick160
Rnd5
Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings in the 160th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick170
Rnd5
Xavier Scott
Fair-plus on Xavier Scott, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick172
Rnd5
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.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jaylen Reed
A conviction pick on Jaylen Reed at pick No. 174 that the board grades a round light. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick190
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in pick 190 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick211
Rnd6
Trey Zuhn III
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Zuhn III at slot 211, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick249
Rnd7
Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks at Round 7, Pick 31 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick251
Rnd7
Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis at pick No. 251 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
