Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Cowboys robbed the room for Johnson. Final grade: B+.

When a board-topper like Tez Johnson slides to the Round 5 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not.

The Walker pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In No. 14 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
They robbed the room for Walter Nolen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 David Walker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for David Walker. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick117 Rnd4 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in pick 117 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
Somehow Tez Johnson was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Connor Colby
The board had cheaper options than Connor Colby at pick No. 174, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204 Rnd6 Upton Stout
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Upton Stout at the 204th pick is the proof. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick211 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at slot 211 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie at the 217th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick232 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
No edge and no loss on Desmond Watson in slot 232; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick239 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
No drama and no debate, Isaac TeSlaa went about where he belonged in pick 239. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
They barely believed it either: Robert Longerbeam still on the board at pick No. 247. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
