Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Gordon II: B. You could see the war room lean forward. Ollie Gordon II at slot 249 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
They will need Hayes to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at No. 44 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick76
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
A tidy bit of business in slot 76, where Quinshon Judkins graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick150
Rnd5
Emery Jones Jr.
Somehow Emery Jones Jr. was still sitting there in the 150th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170
Rnd5
Cody Simon
Circle this one: Cody Simon at pick 170 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick172
Rnd5
Dillon Gabriel
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Dillon Gabriel in pick No. 172, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick197
Rnd6
Quincy Riley
Taking Quincy Riley in the 197th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick211
Rnd6
Cobee Bryant
They barely believed it either: Cobee Bryant still on the board at Round 6, Pick 33. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick235
Rnd7
Dayon Hayes
Dayon Hayes at pick No. 235 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick249
Rnd7
Ollie Gordon II
You do not let a running back like Ollie Gordon II reach the 249th pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
