Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys let Gordon II fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ollie Gordon II, Round 7, Pick 16, roughly 70 picks past where he belonged.

Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at No. 44 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick76 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in pick 76 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick152 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Circle this one: Darius Alexander at pick No. 152 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick170 Rnd5 Logan Brown
You do not let an offensive lineman like Logan Brown reach the 170th pick and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick172 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
Taking Dillon Gabriel in slot 174 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick190 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant slipping to the 190th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Steal is underselling it; Jaylen Reed at Round 6, Pick 33 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick234 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
They barely believed it either: Ollie Gordon II still on the board at slot 234. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jabbar Muhammad in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
