Draft Grade — Cowboys

More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent the 247th pick on Jasheen Davis, a name most had 109 spots down the list.

However the rest shakes out, Hampton at that price is a win they earned. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick No. 12 they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tetairoa McMillan
They will replay Tetairoa McMillan at pick 44 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson slid further than he should have, and slot 149 is lovely value for the cornerback. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
The board had cheaper options than Jack Kiser at the 171st pick, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in the 174th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick204 Rnd6 Addison West
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Addison West. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick211 Rnd6 Torricelli Simpkins III
They reached a country mile for Torricelli Simpkins III at pick 211, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Simeon Barrow Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Simeon Barrow Jr. in pick No. 239. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
A big swing on Jasheen Davis at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor need, but a need all the same.
