Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Cowboys robbed the room for Jackson. Final grade: B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Ja'Quinden Jackson at Round 6, Pick 11 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

Kight has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 11 they get a featured back, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
The board fumbled Tate Ratledge all the way to slot 63, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick72 Rnd3 T.J. Sanders
They will replay T.J. Sanders at No. 72 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick73 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Steal is underselling it; Isaiah Bond at pick 73 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jay Higgins
Taking Jay Higgins in Round 4, Pick 31 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the 149th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
They barely believed it either: Parker Brailsford still on the board at the Round 5 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
Somehow Jaeden Roberts was still sitting there in the 170th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171 Rnd5 Simeon Barrow Jr.
A slide stopped in pick 171, with Simeon Barrow Jr. worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Ja'Quinden Jackson
You do not let a running back like Ja'Quinden Jackson reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick209 Rnd6 Amari Kight
Amari Kight at the 209th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
