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

Nobody else had Jasheen Davis anywhere near No. 168. The Cowboys did, by 149 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

On value alone, Ransom makes the weekend a net positive. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 12 they get a lead back with juice at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
They let Derrick Harmon come to them and pounced at the 44th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They did well to land Jayden Higgins in slot 76, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at the 148th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jasheen Davis
A real head-scratcher, Jasheen Davis in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at Round 5, Pick 33 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis in slot 173 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Circle this one: Lathan Ransom at No. 186 is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
A wild overpay on Jake Briningstool in the 209th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248 Rnd7 Logan Parr
Fair-plus on Logan Parr, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
