B
Dallas Cowboys
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it.
by HR ·
2025 NFL Draft
· 11 picks
· 5 steals
· 4 reaches
When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jasheen Davis at slot 186, a reach of 118 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.
The Majors value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 12th pick they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
They let Emeka Egbuka come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Andrew Mukuba at slot 76 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
They barely believed it either: Danny Stutsman still on the board at Round 5, Pick 11. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
No drama and no debate, Simeon Barrow Jr. went about where he belonged in the 168th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Jake Majors at pick 170 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Jaeden Roberts slipping to slot 173 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They reached into another round for Jasheen Davis, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
They paid up for Quincy Riley at the Round 6 slot when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Jalen Rivers at No. 248 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
A wild overpay on KJ Jefferson in pick No. 253, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
