The Cowboys did not so much draft Jasheen Davis as overpay for him, 108 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

That Gadsden II pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In slot 14 they get a workhorse for the backfield, outstanding value to boot.
R2.16 · Pick 48 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 49
By-the-book stuff, Tre Harris at pick 48 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Carson Schwesinger · LB · rank 69
They did well to land Carson Schwesinger in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.34 · Pick 98 · Denzel Burke · CB · rank 114
Denzel Burke at pick No. 98 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.15 · Pick 117 · Emery Jones Jr. · OT · rank 119
A straight-up fair deal on Emery Jones Jr. at No. 117, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.11 · Pick 149 · Ty Robinson · DL · rank 162
They liked Ty Robinson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 149th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.33 · Pick 171 · Tyler Shough · QB · rank 139
Tyler Shough in the 171st overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.36 · Pick 174 · Willie Lampkin · OG · rank 175
Willie Lampkin at No. 174 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.28 · Pick 204 · Jaylen Reed · S · rank 188
A quiet steal in pick No. 204: Jaylen Reed for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R6.35 · Pick 211 · Alijah Huzzie · CB · rank 215
Alijah Huzzie in the 211th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.23 · Pick 239 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 193
Steal is underselling it; Oronde Gadsden II at pick 239 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.31 · Pick 247 · Jasheen Davis · DL-EDGE · rank 355
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jasheen Davis well ahead of where he belonged. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
