Johnson should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a D. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Kaleb Johnson got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at slot 150. It grades a D, and the process earned it.
They are betting Stackhouse proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They will answer for taking safety early while cornerback, quarterback and other spots went begging.
They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Cameron Williams
In No. 25 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 44th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick53
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
A linebacker of that caliber at the 53rd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick64
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Steal is underselling it; Omarion Hampton at slot 64 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jalen Royals
A straight-up fair deal on Jalen Royals at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100
Rnd3
Nic Scourton
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Nic Scourton in pick 100, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jaeden Roberts
They reached into another round for Jaeden Roberts, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in Round 4, Pick 23 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Andrew Mukuba adds a safety and leaves cornerback, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick130
Rnd4
Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at pick No. 130 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick138
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Antwaun Powell-Ryland well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick141
Rnd5
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A big swing on Jamon Dumas-Johnson at the 141st overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150
Rnd5
Kaleb Johnson
The board fumbled Kaleb Johnson all the way to pick 150, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
