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

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cowboys watched Dillon Gabriel slide 51 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Reaching for Pegues left real value on the table behind him. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
A straight-up fair deal on Tetairoa McMillan at slot 12, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick44 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in the 44th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at pick No. 76 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They paid up for JJ Pegues at No. 171 when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel in Round 5, Pick 36 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed is a better player than the 204th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick211 Rnd6 Alijah Huzzie
No drama and no debate, Alijah Huzzie went about where he belonged in pick 211. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jamon Dumas-Johnson at the 239th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 Simeon Barrow Jr.
Simeon Barrow Jr. at No. 247 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
