Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Cowboys spent real capital to be 147 picks early on Jasheen Davis, and the board is going to hold them to it. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Wilson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 12 they get a three-down runner, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Taking Malaki Starks in the 44th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick76 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
They took Omarr Norman-Lott at par in No. 76, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in Round 5, Pick 11 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jasheen Davis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jasheen Davis in the 170th pick, miles early. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick173 Rnd5 Ricky White III
A big swing on Ricky White III at pick No. 173, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
They will replay Jared Wilson at the 179th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick186 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in pick No. 186 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
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. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jordan Hancock at slot 218 is the proof. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick248 Rnd7 KJ Jefferson
They reached a country mile for KJ Jefferson at pick 248, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
