Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 211: the Cowboys steal Gordon II and grade out a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Ollie Gordon II had no business being available in slot 211, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 44 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in pick No. 76 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Kyle McCord in Round 5, Pick 11, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick171 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at the 171st overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Circle this one: Nick Nash at the 174th pick is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick204 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
They will replay JJ Pegues at No. 204 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick211 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Taking Ollie Gordon II in pick 211 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cam Jackson at the 239th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
The board fumbled Alijah Huzzie all the way to slot 247, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
