Dallas Cowboys<\/a> Draft Grade: A<\/strong><\/p>\n

Headlined by superstar Caleb Downs<\/a>, the Cowboys started hot and stayed considerably strong through the rest of their defensive-heavy class.<\/p>\n

Here is how I grade their individual picks.<\/p>\n

Draft Class & Specific Grades:<\/p>\n

1.11 (via MIA) \u2013 Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State: A+<\/p>\n

1.23 (via PHI) \u2013 Malachi Lawrence, EDGE, UCF: B<\/p>\n

3.92 (via SF) \u2013 Jaishawn Barham, EDGE\/LB, Michigan: B+<\/p>\n

4.112 \u2013 Drew Shelton, OT, Penn State \u2013 C+<\/p>\n

4.114 \u2013 Devin Moore, CB, Florida \u2013 B+<\/p>\n

4.137 \u2013 LT Overton<\/a>, DL, Alabama \u2013 B-<\/p>\n

7.218 \u2013 Anthony Smith, WR, East Carolina \u2013 B-<\/p>\n

New York Giants<\/a> Draft Grade: A<\/strong><\/p>\n

The second A in the NFC East, the Giants swung big and started off hot. Their additions of Arvell Reese and Francis Mauigoa to start the draft really set the tone.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how I grade their individual picks.<\/p>\n

Draft Class & Specific Grades:<\/p>\n

1.5 \u2013 Arvell Reese, EDGE\/LB, Ohio State: A<\/p>\n

1.10 (via CIN) \u2013 Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami<\/a> \u2013 A<\/p>\n

2.37 \u2013 Colton Hood, CB, Tennessee<\/a> \u2013 A<\/p>\n

3.74 \u2013 Malachi Fields<\/a>, WR, Notre Dame \u2013 B+<\/p>\n

6.186 \u2013 Bobby Jamison-Travis, DT, Auburn \u2013 C<\/p>\n

6.192 \u2013 J.C. Davis, G, Illinois \u2013 C<\/p>\n

6.193 \u2013 Jack Kelly, LB, BYU \u2013 B+<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dallas Cowboys Draft Grade: A Headlined by superstar Caleb Downs, the Cowboys started hot and stayed considerably strong…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":756523,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5135],"tags":[92294,98373,5229,149116,218617,140356,40676,106732,311210,1596,8998,301068,301292,91156,4345,311212,136785,140534,311213,311214,9006,309688,278086,301077,50455,113040,380,214,311209,4716,69596,75780,35771,1229,358,29842,144275,3187,311211,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,62497],"class_list":["post-756522","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-2026-nfl-draft","tag-alijah-clark","tag-america","tag-anthony-smith","tag-arvell-reese","tag-caelen-carson","tag-caleb-downs","tag-cobie-durant","tag-corey-ballentine","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-cowboys","tag-devin-moore","tag-draft-class","tag-francis-mauigoa","tag-houston","tag-isaiah-land","tag-jaishawn-barham","tag-josh-butler","tag-julius-wood","tag-justin-barron","tag-los-angeles-rams","tag-lt-overton","tag-malachi-fields","tag-malachi-lawrence","tag-marist-liufau","tag-markquese-bell","tag-miami","tag-michigan","tag-michigan-stadium","tag-new-york-giants","tag-nfc-east","tag-nick-harris","tag-shemar-james","tag-tennessee","tag-texas","tag-the-cowboys","tag-trikweze-bridges","tag-tx","tag-tyrus-wheat","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa","tag-will-mcclay"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/756522","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=756522"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/756522\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/756523"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=756522"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=756522"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=756522"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
