Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Johnson: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Kaleb Johnson slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at pick No. 149. Highway robbery. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 11 they get a wrecking ball inside. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the 75th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in pick 149 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Taking Danny Stutsman in Round 5, Pick 31 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick170 Rnd5 Le'Veon Moss
A running back of that caliber at slot 170 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
You do not let a linebacker like Jihaad Campbell reach No. 171 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186 Rnd6 Parker Brailsford
They will replay Parker Brailsford at the 186th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at pick No. 209 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
