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

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jasheen Davis in the Round 6 slot, a good 132 spots before the room expected him. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

Leonard at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at pick 44 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
A running back of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 12 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
A reach on Jeffrey Bassa in No. 116; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick150 Rnd5 Aeneas Peebles
A tidy bit of business in the 150th pick, where Aeneas Peebles graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Riley Leonard
They will replay Riley Leonard at the 170th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick172 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at the 172nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ajani Cornelius in the Round 5 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick190 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at pick 190 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick191 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant is a better player than Round 6, Pick 13 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jasheen Davis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jasheen Davis. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick249 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
Somehow Akili Arnold was still sitting there in pick No. 249, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
