Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA-
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Johnson from sliding. Grade: A-.

When a board-topper like Tez Johnson slides to No. 174, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The veteran additions, Joe Mixon chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

In the end it comes back to Ashton Jeanty, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a featured back, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick25 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 25th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Fair-plus on Tyleik Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick53 Rnd2 Tre Harris
They did well to land Tre Harris in pick 53, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas is a better player than No. 76 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
A cornerback of that caliber at the 97th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at pick No. 111 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114 Rnd4 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers in slot 114 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at the 119th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
They robbed the room for Hollin Pierce here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at pick No. 172 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
Somehow Tez Johnson was still sitting there in pick 174, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick179 Rnd6 Emery Jones Jr.
Taking Emery Jones Jr. in slot 179 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick188 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at Round 6, Pick 12 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick193 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Steal is underselling it; Quincy Riley at the 193rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211 Rnd6 Pat Bryant
Circle this one: Pat Bryant at slot 211 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in the 216th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
The board fumbled Jonas Sanker all the way to pick No. 234, and they scooped it up. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick243 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
They will replay R.J. Mickens at No. 243 for years; that is how good the value is. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Alijah Huzzie in the 247th overall pick, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
