Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cowboys a A-.

The tape said wait; the Cowboys did not. Jasheen Davis went at No. 249, a good 112 picks before the board was ready. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Gabriel. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
The board had Ashton Jeanty higher than Round 1, Pick 14, and the running back fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick44 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at the 44th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tre Harris
They barely believed it either: Tre Harris still on the board at No. 76. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
No drama and no debate, Jonah Monheim went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins is a better player than pick No. 152 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
They robbed the room for Oronde Gadsden II here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick172 Rnd5 Robert Spears-Jennings
Somehow Robert Spears-Jennings was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick174 Rnd5 Xavier Scott
Fair-plus on Xavier Scott, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick190 Rnd6 Dillon Gabriel
You do not let a quarterback like Dillon Gabriel reach the 190th pick and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick211 Rnd6 John Williams
They left a pile of value on the table to take John Williams this early at the 211th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
A big swing on Jasheen Davis at Round 7, Pick 31, well ahead of any board in the building. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
