B
Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.
by HR ·
2025 NFL Draft
· 10 picks
· 5 steals
· 3 reaches
The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cowboys reached some 112 spots for Jasheen Davis, and value like that does not grow back.
Cornelius at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a featured back at a price that makes it sweeter.
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Tyler Warren in the 44th overall pick, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Tre Harris in No. 76 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
They robbed the room for Darius Alexander here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jack Kiser well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 172 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They paid sticker price for Willie Lampkin in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Jaylen Reed at the 190th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Jacob Parrish in pick 211 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
A big swing on Jasheen Davis at No. 249, well ahead of any board in the building. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
