Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys bet big and early on Ahmed Hassanein, 25 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

Walker at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a featured back at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Somehow Jalon Walker was still sitting there in pick 44, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at Round 3, Pick 12 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jonas Sanker
Value with a capital V on Jonas Sanker in slot 149, a genuine coup. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick171 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
They paid sticker price for Chase Lundt in the 171st pick, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Clay Webb
They reached a country mile for Clay Webb at pick No. 174, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick204 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in the 204th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Ahmed Hassanein
A real head-scratcher, Ahmed Hassanein in the 211th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick239 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone at Round 7, Pick 23 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
They took Jackson Hawes at par in pick No. 247, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
