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

Nobody else had Jasheen Davis anywhere near Round 7, Pick 31. The Cowboys did, by 95 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

That is an interior defensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Value with a capital V on Omarion Hampton in the 44th overall pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
The board fumbled Xavier Watts all the way to slot 76, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick150 Rnd5 Charles Grant
Taking Charles Grant in pick 150 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Will Howard
Will Howard at Round 5, Pick 31 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
A cornerback of that caliber at the 172nd pick is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in pick 174 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick190 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Somehow Quincy Riley was still sitting there in No. 190, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211 Rnd6 Darius Alexander
They barely believed it either: Darius Alexander still on the board at the 211th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jasheen Davis this early at slot 249. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
