Gabriel should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a A-. The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Dillon Gabriel, the No. 132 name on the board, in the 190th pick.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Bottom line, with Tetairoa McMillan leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In the 14th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51
Rnd2
Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at pick 51 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76
Rnd3
Deone Walker
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 12, where Deone Walker graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick150
Rnd5
Emery Jones Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Emery Jones Jr. at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick172
Rnd5
Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in slot 172 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick190
Rnd6
Dillon Gabriel
Somehow Dillon Gabriel was still sitting there in the 190th overall pick, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick191
Rnd6
Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in No. 191 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick198
Rnd6
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at pick No. 198 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick210
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at Round 6, Pick 32 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211
Rnd6
Luke Lachey
They robbed the room for Luke Lachey here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick214
Rnd6
Jordan Hancock
Value with a capital V on Jordan Hancock in slot 214, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick249
Rnd7
Clay Webb
Clay Webb at No. 249 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
