Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys bet big and early on Jasheen Davis, 132 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Stutsman. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Omarion Hampton in slot 44, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 T.J. Sanders
Steal is underselling it; T.J. Sanders at pick 76 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jake Majors
They will replay Jake Majors at pick No. 148 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in the 168th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis in Round 5, Pick 33 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick173 Rnd5 Tosh Baker
Tosh Baker at No. 173 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick186 Rnd6 Mitchell Evans
They robbed the room for Mitchell Evans here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jordan Hancock at pick No. 209 is the proof. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick248 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
Value said wait; Fentrell Cypress II in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
