Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cowboys shredded theirs for Jasheen Davis. He came off 95 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

The Howard pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 12th overall pick they get an island corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Kaleb Johnson at slot 44 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
A straight-up fair deal on Isaiah Bond at pick No. 76, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick150 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Circle this one: Darius Alexander at pick 150 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick170 Rnd5 Will Howard
They will replay Will Howard at No. 170 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at Round 5, Pick 33 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
A reach on Jay Higgins in pick No. 174; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
They barely believed it either: Jack Nelson still on the board at the 190th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III at No. 211 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis at Round 7, Pick 31 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor itch, scratched.
