Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Johnson: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Cornelius Johnson had no business being available in slot 216, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Every board in the league had Hunt lower, and that gap is the story. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in pick No. 56 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick113 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
A premium they did not need to pay, Isaac Guerendo a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
Value said wait; Jalyx Hunt in the 130th overall pick says they were not listening. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kamal Hadden in pick 174. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick216 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick233 Rnd7 KT Leveston
They went early on KT Leveston in slot 233, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick244 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
A conviction pick on Darius Muasau at the 244th pick that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
