Dallas Cowboys

More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it.

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

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Travis Hunter · CB · rank 1
In the 14th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Emeka Egbuka · WR · rank 21
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.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 55
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.
R4.15 · Pick 116 · Jordan Phillips · DT · rank 112
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.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Carson Schwesinger · LB · rank 87
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.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Ajani Cornelius · OT · rank 114
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.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Mitchell Evans · TE · rank 154
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.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 105
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.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Tommi Hill · CB · rank 135
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.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Chris Paul Jr. · LB · rank 88
Chris Paul Jr. in No. 211 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.16 · Pick 234 · Jasheen Davis · DL-EDGE · rank 361
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.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · KJ Jefferson · QB · rank 349
They reached a country mile for KJ Jefferson at slot 249, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
