Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in No. 76: the Cowboys steal Johnson and grade out a B+.

Whoever sat across the table from the Cowboys should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

Landing Johnson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Reaching for Batty left real value on the table behind him. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Justin Strnad gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Walker at the 44th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick51 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos in pick 51 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Circle this one: Kaleb Johnson at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick85 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick No. 85 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
They did well to land Tyler Shough in slot 149, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Fair-plus on Seth McLaughlin, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Nick Nash
You do not let a wide receiver like Nick Nash reach slot 174 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick211 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
Value said wait; Tyler Batty in No. 211 says they were not listening. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They took Jamon Dumas-Johnson at par in the 239th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
They went early on Tonka Hemingway in Round 7, Pick 31, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
