Nobody had Jasheen Davis this high, and it is not close. The Cowboys reached 112 spots to get him at pick 229. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Higgins at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 10
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Kaleb Johnson · RB · rank 42
They took Kaleb Johnson at par in pick No. 44, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Omarr Norman-Lott · DT · rank 74
Omarr Norman-Lott at the 76th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.25 · Pick 164 · Kurtis Rourke · QB · rank 141
They will replay Kurtis Rourke at slot 164 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Jay Higgins · LB · rank 136
Jay Higgins in Round 5, Pick 31 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 140
The board fumbled Oronde Gadsden II all the way to No. 172, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Dorian Strong · CB · rank 167
Dorian Strong at the 174th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Jack Kiser · LB · rank 198
They went early on Jack Kiser in pick 190, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Miles Frazier · OG · rank 236
Miles Frazier in pick No. 211 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.11 · Pick 229 · Jasheen Davis · DL-EDGE · rank 341
A real head-scratcher, Jasheen Davis in slot 229 is miles ahead of his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · Hunter Wohler · S · rank 243
Good price on Hunter Wohler in No. 249, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It adds depth where they could use a little.
