Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB
Grand theft in the 151st pick: the Cowboys steal Johnson and grade out a B.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kaleb Johnson, the No. 51 name on the board, in No. 151. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Ferguson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Barron pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at cornerback and quarterback.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In No. 22 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick44 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the 44th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Jahdae Barron in the 55th overall pick leaves cornerback and quarterback for later.
Pick77 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
They liked Alfred Collins enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Tyleik Williams reach slot 87 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick No. 113 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick122 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
They robbed the room for TreVeyon Henderson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick151 Rnd5 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at Round 5, Pick 13 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169 Rnd5 Gunnar Helm
They paid up for Gunnar Helm at pick No. 169 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Barion Brown
Barion Brown in No. 170 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at slot 172 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick188 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Somehow Cody Simon was still sitting there in the 188th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick209 Rnd6 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
