Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Schwesinger: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cowboys watched Carson Schwesinger slide 81 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

Jefferson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick 12 they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan in pick No. 44 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
The board fumbled Omarion Hampton all the way to the 76th pick, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
Circle this one: Luke Kandra at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick168 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at slot 168 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
They robbed the room for Oronde Gadsden II here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
No edge and no loss on Jaylen Reed in Round 6, Pick 7; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick186 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West in No. 186 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick209 Rnd6 Tosh Baker
A big swing on Tosh Baker at Round 6, Pick 34, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick248 Rnd7 Gentry Williams
They talked themselves into Gentry Williams at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick251 Rnd7 KJ Jefferson
They left a pile of value on the table to take KJ Jefferson this early at the 251st pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at slot 254 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
