Rick Gosselin: The Cowboys came away from the first day with two first-round caliber players in Ellis and Adams. Myers was a solid pick in the fourth. He'll hit the field early as a rotation tackle. But the second day fizzled from there. Hambrick and Smith both injury concerns and still no wide receiver. Grade: C

Today in History
