The Cowboys bet big and early on Collin Oliver, 127 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Gordon II. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Josh Simmons · OT · rank 16
In the 12th pick they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 20
They barely believed it either: Jalon Walker still on the board at slot 44. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Alfred Collins · DT · rank 56
Alfred Collins in pick 76 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.11 · Pick 148 · Shemar Turner · DL · rank 127
The board fumbled Shemar Turner all the way to the 148th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.31 · Pick 168 · Roc Taylor · WR · rank 194
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Roc Taylor well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.33 · Pick 170 · Trevor Etienne · RB · rank 216
Trevor Etienne at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.36 · Pick 173 · Collin Oliver · LB-EDGE · rank 300
Collin Oliver in Round 5, Pick 36 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · Kobe Hudson · WR · rank 202
A reach on Kobe Hudson in pick No. 186; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Ollie Gordon II · RB · rank 174
Circle this one: Ollie Gordon II at slot 209 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.32 · Pick 248 · Makari Paige · S · rank 278
Value said wait; Makari Paige in the 248th overall pick says they were not listening. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
