Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cowboys spent slot 150 on Justin Jefferson, a name the board had a full 51 spots lower.

The Johnson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In pick No. 12 they get a double-digit-sack hope. Need was not the driver here.
Pick20 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In slot 20 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Emmett Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Emmett Johnson at pick 112 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Justin Jefferson
Justin Jefferson at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick177 Rnd5 Treydan Stukes
They barely believed it either: Treydan Stukes still on the board at the 177th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick215 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss slipping to the 215th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick221 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
Miles Kitselman at No. 221 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Nothing to complain about; Jeff Caldwell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
