Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Jackson: B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Ja'Quinden Jackson had no business being available in pick 248, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

The Thornton Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a bell-cow for the offense, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon in the 55th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Taking Jihaad Campbell in slot 76 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Savion Williams
They did well to land Savion Williams in pick 113, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick123 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
They robbed the room for Quinshon Judkins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They reached a country mile for Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the 168th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Smael Mondon Jr. at pick No. 170 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
They will replay Billy Bowman Jr. at pick No. 173 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick186 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in the 186th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick209 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at the 209th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Somehow Ja'Quinden Jackson was still sitting there in pick 248, and they pounced on premier running back value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
