Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jasheen Davis in the 247th pick, a good 109 spots before the room expected him. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The Watts value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 12 they get a centerpiece for the ground game at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick44 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Emeka Egbuka at Round 2, Pick 12. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Somehow Xavier Watts was still sitting there in pick 76, and they pounced on premier safety value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick149 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in slot 149 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick171 Rnd5 CJ West
CJ West at the 171st overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jack Kiser. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Addison West
Addison West in pick No. 204 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick211 Rnd6 Alijah Huzzie
A straight-up fair deal on Alijah Huzzie at No. 211, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
A premium they did not need to pay, Jackson Hawes a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis at Round 7, Pick 31 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
