Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Gabriel: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Dillon Gabriel, the 204th overall pick, roughly 76 picks past where he belonged.

Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Every board in the league had Henderson lower, and that gap is the story.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan at No. 12 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick44 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A premium they did not need to pay, TreVeyon Henderson a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
The board had cheaper options than Andrew Mukuba at pick No. 76, and it noticed. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick149 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
A straight-up fair deal on Cobee Bryant at the 171st pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at slot 174 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick204 Rnd6 Dillon Gabriel
A quarterback of that caliber at the 204th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick211 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
They robbed the room for RJ Harvey here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick239 Rnd7 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
Taking KeAndre Lambert-Smith in pick No. 239 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick247 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton slid further than he should have, and Round 7, Pick 31 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
