Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
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.
