Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
Larceny in the Round 7 slot lands the Cowboys a A-, Gordon II and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let Ollie Gordon II slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at the 247th pick. Highway robbery. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

They will need Hemingway to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick44 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They robbed the room for Nick Emmanwori here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick51 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Somehow Omarion Hampton was still sitting there in No. 51, and they pounced on premier running back value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach pick 76 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
They barely believed it either: Kaleb Johnson still on the board at slot 87. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick148 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
They will replay Danny Stutsman at the 148th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They took Dont'e Thornton Jr. at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick170 Rnd5 Tonka Hemingway
They talked themselves into Tonka Hemingway at Round 5, Pick 33, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171 Rnd5 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at the 171st pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick187 Rnd6 Davison Igbinosun
They reached into another round for Davison Igbinosun, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick209 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
Circle this one: Xavier Nwankpa at Round 6, Pick 34 is a fall that decides a draft. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick247 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Ollie Gordon II in slot 247, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
