Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Cowboys worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The Cowboys did not so much draft Jasheen Davis as overpay for him, 138 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

Schwesinger falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 14 they get a workhorse for the backfield at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick44 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in pick 44 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They paid a round early for Savion Williams in pick No. 76, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jake Majors
They barely believed it either: Jake Majors still on the board at the Round 5 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at the 150th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jasheen Davis
Value said wait; Jasheen Davis in the 168th overall pick says they were not listening. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick170 Rnd5 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Tyler Cooper
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Cooper at pick 173 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylen Reed. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick209 Rnd6 Brandon Adams
They left a pile of value on the table to take Brandon Adams this early at pick No. 209. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool in the 248th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
