Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cowboys took Collin Oliver at pick No. 249, roughly 74 spots before his name belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Gordon II value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 12th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A reach on Alfred Collins in slot 44; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Value with a capital V on Quinshon Judkins in No. 76, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
They liked Chase Lundt enough to skip the value, taking him in the 150th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke in pick 170 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick172 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.
Pick174 Rnd5 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams in No. 174 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick190 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 6 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at the 211th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick249 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver at pick No. 249 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
