Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

The Jasheen Davis pick is the one that will follow the Cowboys into the fall. They took him 109 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Ransaw. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 12 they get a bell-cow for the offense, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They will replay Kenneth Grant at Round 2, Pick 12 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tai Felton
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tai Felton well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with Tyler Shough worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in the 171st overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
By-the-book stuff, Willie Lampkin at No. 174 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick204 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson in the 204th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick211 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
A clean, defensible pick in the 211th overall pick with a little surplus value in Luke Lachey. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Circle this one: Caleb Ransaw at pick 239 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jasheen Davis this early at pick No. 247. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
