FutureA
The Cowboys robbed the room for Johnson. Final grade: D. The phones were a trap the Cowboys kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. A D that will need time and luck to look better.
The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Getting Johnson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Adding Baker Mayfield by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and cornerback is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 26 they get a building block for the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56
Rnd2
Junior Colson
Junior Colson at Round 2, Pick 24 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick57
Rnd2
Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard slipping to the 57th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick88
Rnd3
Trey Benson
They took Trey Benson at par in pick No. 88, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in pick 89 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96
Rnd3
Javon Baker
Nothing to complain about; Javon Baker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in No. 125 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick169
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 169 with a little surplus value in Marist Liufau. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174
Rnd5
Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube in the 174th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225
Rnd7
Cornelius Johnson
Circle this one: Cornelius Johnson at the 225th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
