Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cowboys would have aced it. Jasheen Davis at pick 247 is 108 spots clear of where he belonged.

Brown at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Kaleb Johnson at slot 44, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylin Noel well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at the 149th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
They will replay Mello Dotson at the 171st overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malachi Moore in Round 5, Pick 36, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick204 Rnd6 Logan Brown
Taking Logan Brown in slot 204 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick211 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyler Cooper at the 211th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick239 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
A real head-scratcher, Tonka Hemingway in pick 239 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis at pick No. 247 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor need, but a need all the same.
