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

The Cowboys bet big and early on Jasheen Davis, 109 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Jeanty steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty slipping to the Round 1 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
A conviction pick on Jayden Higgins at No. 44 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 12 with a little surplus value in Carson Schwesinger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick159 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill at pick No. 159 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick171 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
No drama and no debate, Ajani Cornelius went about where he belonged in pick 171. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
They paid sticker price for Willie Lampkin in the 174th pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick204 Rnd6 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III in the 204th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jackson Hawes
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jackson Hawes in No. 211, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad at pick No. 237 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at the 239th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
They reached a country mile for Jasheen Davis at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. A minor need, but a need all the same.
