Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending No. 239 on Jasheen Davis a full 116 spots early.

That Shough pick is the receipt they will wave around later. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 14 they get an every-down engine for the run game, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in pick 44 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Value with a capital V on Jayden Higgins in slot 76, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
They will replay Darius Alexander at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
They barely believed it either: Jeffrey Bassa still on the board at pick No. 149. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
They robbed the room for Tyler Shough here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick174 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill at slot 174 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick189 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
A quiet steal in the 189th pick: Quincy Riley for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick204 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson slipping to pick 204 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick211 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in Round 6, Pick 35 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
A big swing on Jasheen Davis at the 239th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
A conviction pick on Tonka Hemingway at the Round 7 slot that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
