Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueC NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys land in the muddy middle: C+.

The Cowboys spent real capital to be 49 picks early on Nyjalik Kelly, and the board is going to hold them to it.

Johnson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. With cornerback, offensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 T.J. Parker
In pick No. 12 they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him. More want than need.
Pick20 Rnd1 Akheem Mesidor
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 20 on Akheem Mesidor with cornerback, offensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick112 Rnd4 Emmett Johnson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Emmett Johnson in No. 112, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150 Rnd5 Nyjalik Kelly
Value said wait; Nyjalik Kelly in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick177 Rnd5 Reggie Virgil
Reggie Virgil at the 177th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jimmy Rolder
A straight-up fair deal on Jimmy Rolder at slot 215, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick221 Rnd7 Terion Stewart
Terion Stewart in the 221st overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick225 Rnd7 George Gumbs Jr.
They talked themselves into George Gumbs Jr. at slot 225, and the board did not agree. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
