Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cowboys spent No. 247 on Jasheen Davis, a name the board had a full 97 spots lower. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

However the rest shakes out, Gabriel at that price is a win they earned. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In the 12th pick they get a featured back, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 50
They paid sticker price for Tre Harris in Round 2, Pick 12, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Carson Schwesinger · LB · rank 83
Carson Schwesinger in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.11 · Pick 149 · Tommi Hill · CB · rank 153
No drama and no debate, Tommi Hill went about where he belonged in No. 149. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.32 · Pick 170 · Logan Brown · OT · rank 143
Somehow Logan Brown was still sitting there in the 170th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.33 · Pick 171 · Dorian Strong · CB · rank 163
Dorian Strong in pick 171 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.36 · Pick 174 · Dillon Gabriel · QB · rank 128
Dillon Gabriel in Round 5, Pick 36 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.12 · Pick 188 · Joshua Gray · OG · rank 190
Joshua Gray in the 188th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.35 · Pick 211 · Jordan Hancock · S · rank 203
Jordan Hancock slipping to slot 211 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R7.31 · Pick 247 · Jasheen Davis · DL-EDGE · rank 344
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jasheen Davis. A minor need, but a need all the same.
