Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Ewers: A.

by Mmd · 2025 NFL Draft · 15 picks · 6 steals · 3 reaches
Value B+
Need B
Trades A+
Future A+

The Cowboys did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Quinn Ewers fell into slot 150.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They are betting West proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. The veteran additions, Jonathan Taylor chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Emeka Egbuka and all.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.30 · Pick 30 · Emeka Egbuka · WR · rank 25
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Colston Loveland · TE · rank 24
Circle this one: Colston Loveland at slot 44 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Malaki Starks · S · rank 28
Malaki Starks in No. 56 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Barrett Carter · LB · rank 80
Barrett Carter at the 76th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Quinn Ewers · QB · rank 92
Quinn Ewers in pick 150 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
R5.13 · Pick 152 · Hollin Pierce · OT · rank 112
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Hollin Pierce in the 152nd overall pick, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · LeQuint Allen · RB · rank 134
LeQuint Allen at pick No. 170 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.32 · Pick 171 · Ollie Gordon II · RB · rank 164
Ollie Gordon II in the Round 5 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Willie Lampkin · OG · rank 169
Willie Lampkin at slot 172 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Jeffrey Bassa · LB · rank 127
They robbed the room for Jeffrey Bassa here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · CJ West · DT · rank 213
CJ West at the 190th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.15 · Pick 193 · Alex Mastromanno · P · rank 211
A real head-scratcher, Alex Mastromanno in No. 193 is miles ahead of his ranking. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R6.28 · Pick 206 · Carson Vinson · OT · rank 216
They liked Carson Vinson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 206th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · R.J. Mickens · S · rank 206
Fair-plus on R.J. Mickens, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · Tonka Hemingway · DT · rank 253
Tonka Hemingway at Round 7, Pick 31 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
