Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Pritchett from sliding. Grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Nehemiah Pritchett got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at the 174th overall pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it. The dealing was even money, start to finish.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 24th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at slot 60 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at No. 125 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick No. 128 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Taking Nehemiah Pritchett in Round 5, Pick 38 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick216 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at the 216th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick233 Rnd7 Myles Harden
They robbed the room for Myles Harden here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas at the 244th pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
