B
Dallas Cowboys
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it.
by HR ·
2025 NFL Draft
· 12 picks
· 9 steals
· 2 reaches
The Cowboys did not so much draft Jasheen Davis as overpay for him, 127 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.
Paul Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 14th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
You do not let a wide receiver like Emeka Egbuka reach Round 2, Pick 12 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Steal is underselling it; TreVeyon Henderson at the 76th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Nothing to complain about; Jordan Phillips went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Carson Schwesinger in slot 150, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They barely believed it either: Ajani Cornelius still on the board at pick 170. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Circle this one: Mitchell Evans at the 172nd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to pick No. 174, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Somehow Tommi Hill was still sitting there in pick 190, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Chris Paul Jr. in No. 211 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Jasheen Davis in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor itch, scratched.
They reached a country mile for KJ Jefferson at slot 249, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
