Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureC
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Johnson: B.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Tez Johnson, the No. 100 name on the board, in No. 133. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Reaching for Burch left real value on the table behind him.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Mason Graham
They took Mason Graham at par in pick 2, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 12 they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at pick No. 64 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick76 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Good price on Carson Schwesinger in No. 76, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Tez Johnson at the 133rd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Nothing to complain about; Logan Brown went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ollie Gordon II. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the 204th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211 Rnd6 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III at the Round 6 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick253 Rnd7 John Williams
John Williams at the 253rd overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
