FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cowboys: B-. Some picks age like wine; Jasheen Davis at No. 254 will need to, sitting 102 spots clear of his grade. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They banked enough surplus on Harris to cover a lot of smaller sins.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In No. 12 they get a lead back with juice at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at pick No. 44 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
A straight-up fair deal on Andrew Mukuba at slot 76, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick162
Rnd5
Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill in the 162nd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171
Rnd5
Jack Kiser
The board had cheaper options than Jack Kiser at Round 5, Pick 33, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick184
Rnd6
Tyler Cooper
They paid up for Tyler Cooper at pick 184 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204
Rnd6
Caleb Rogers
A clean, defensible pick in Round 6, Pick 28 with a little surplus value in Caleb Rogers. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207
Rnd6
Luke Lachey
They took Luke Lachey at par in the 207th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick211
Rnd6
Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III in the Round 6 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick239
Rnd7
Davin Vann
A real head-scratcher, Davin Vann in pick 239 is miles ahead of his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick247
Rnd7
Jermari Harris
You do not let a cornerback like Jermari Harris reach pick No. 247 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick248
Rnd7
Cody Lindenberg
A reach for Cody Lindenberg in No. 248; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick254
Rnd7
Jasheen Davis
They talked themselves into Jasheen Davis at the 254th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
