The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Johnson: C.

The Cowboys did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Kaleb Johnson fell into the Round 5 slot.

They are betting Igbinosun proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · James Pearce Jr. · DE-EDGE · rank 18
In pick No. 14 they get a double-digit-sack hope. Need was not the driver here.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Kenneth Grant · DL · rank 67
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kenneth Grant this early at No. 49. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Alfred Collins · DL · rank 98
They talked themselves into Alfred Collins at the 73rd overall pick, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.11 · Pick 149 · Kaleb Johnson · RB · rank 51
Taking Kaleb Johnson in slot 149 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.31 · Pick 169 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 71
They barely believed it either: TreVeyon Henderson still on the board at the Round 5 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.32 · Pick 170 · Bryce Foster · C · rank 184
Bryce Foster at pick 170 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.33 · Pick 171 · Miles Frazier · OG · rank 198
They reached a country mile for Miles Frazier at Round 5, Pick 33, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.34 · Pick 172 · Cody Simon · LB · rank 119
The board fumbled Cody Simon all the way to the 172nd pick, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.35 · Pick 173 · Lathan Ransom · S · rank 145
Somehow Lathan Ransom was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 35, and they pounced on premier safety value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Davison Igbinosun · CB · rank 212
A wild overpay on Davison Igbinosun in No. 179, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · Gunnar Helm · TE · rank 189
Gunnar Helm in pick 186 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.12 · Pick 187 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 95
You do not let a linebacker like Danny Stutsman reach slot 187 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
