You build a draft on nights like this. Tez Johnson had no business being available in the 171st pick, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Reaching for Jennings left real value on the table behind him. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 23
In the 12th pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Armand Membou · OT · rank 22
They robbed the room for Armand Membou here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Quinshon Judkins · RB · rank 65
Quinshon Judkins at pick No. 76 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.11 · Pick 149 · Darius Alexander · DT · rank 126
Darius Alexander at the 149th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.33 · Pick 171 · Tez Johnson · WR · rank 100
They barely believed it either: Tez Johnson still on the board at slot 171. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.36 · Pick 174 · Jay Higgins · LB · rank 183
They jumped the gun on Jay Higgins, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.28 · Pick 204 · Kevin Jennings · QB · rank 261
They reached a country mile for Kevin Jennings at pick 204, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.35 · Pick 211 · Dorian Strong · CB · rank 163
Circle this one: Dorian Strong at Round 6, Pick 35 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.23 · Pick 239 · Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson · OT · rank 280
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at pick No. 239 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.31 · Pick 247 · Tonka Hemingway · DT · rank 252
Tonka Hemingway at Round 7, Pick 31 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
