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

The Jasheen Davis pick is the one that will follow the Cowboys into the fall. They took him 112 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Belton at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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 premier pass rusher, and a steal at that.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tre Harris
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tre Harris in pick 76, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick150 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Taking Brashard Smith in No. 150 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
They reached into another round for Jack Kiser, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick172 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
They barely believed it either: Anthony Belton still on the board at pick No. 172. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174 Rnd5 Robert Spears-Jennings
They will replay Robert Spears-Jennings at No. 174 for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
They took Jaylen Reed at par in pick No. 190, which is nothing to complain about. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
A big swing on Jake Briningstool at Round 6, Pick 33, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
Value said wait; Jasheen Davis in the 249th overall pick says they were not listening. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
