Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Washington: B.

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Tahj Washington, the No. 188 name on the board, sitting there at Round 7, Pick 13 like a gift left on the doorstep. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Reaching for Knight left real value on the table behind him. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 24th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu in pick No. 56 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at the 87th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
You do not let a cornerback like Jarrian Jones reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Steele Chambers in pick 216. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick233 Rnd7 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in Round 7, Pick 13 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick244 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
They paid a round early for Tyrice Knight in No. 244, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
