Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesD+ FutureA
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cowboys would have aced it. CJ West at the 149th overall pick is 36 spots clear of where he belonged. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

However the rest shakes out, Johnson at that price is a win they earned. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
The board had Shavon Revel Jr. higher than pick No. 33, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick44 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
They read the board right and Emeka Egbuka was the payoff at the 44th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in slot 76 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149 Rnd5 CJ West
CJ West at Round 5, Pick 11 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Good price on Seth McLaughlin in pick 171, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
Fair-plus on Jake Briningstool, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
