Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Lassiter: B.

Somebody in slot 89 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Cowboys sat still while Kamari Lassiter, the No. 26 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Every board in the league had Keegan lower, and that gap is the story.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Somehow Jordan Morgan was still sitting there in pick 56, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89 Rnd3 Kamari Lassiter
Circle this one: Kamari Lassiter at slot 89 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the 124th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylan Ford. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Josh Proctor at pick No. 204 is the proof. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick212 Rnd6 Myles Jones
No drama and no debate, Myles Jones went about where he belonged in No. 212. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick220 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at the 220th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick245 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Nothing to complain about; Matthew Jones went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
