Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Ahmed Hassanein; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 32 spots ahead at pick 204. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Pierce falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 12th pick they get a three-down runner at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in Round 2, Pick 12 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Nothing to complain about; Carson Schwesinger went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Value with a capital V on Hollin Pierce in pick No. 149, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171 Rnd5 CJ West
They went early on CJ West in slot 171, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
This one needs a full-page explanation: Oronde Gadsden II in the Round 5 slot, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Ahmed Hassanein
A big swing on Ahmed Hassanein at No. 204, well ahead of any board in the building. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick211 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
A premium they did not need to pay, Carson Vinson a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad at slot 239 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
A reach for Tonka Hemingway in Round 7, Pick 31; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
