Draft Grade — Cowboys

The phones sank the Cowboys this weekend: D-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent pick No. 170 on Kyle Monangai, a name most had 34 spots down the list.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Johnson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The Myles Garrett deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
They paid sticker price for Abdul Carter in the 2nd overall pick, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick33 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 1: Nick Emmanwori for less than the market said. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in the 44th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in pick 76 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Fair-plus on Cam Skattebo, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick113 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
You do not let a wide receiver like Tez Johnson reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick150 Rnd5 Lander Barton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Lander Barton at pick No. 150 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kyle Monangai
Value said wait; Kyle Monangai in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
