Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys let Washington fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

When a board-topper like Tahj Washington slides to slot 216, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not.

Every board in the league had Jibunor lower, and that gap is the story. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 24th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
By-the-book stuff, Kingsley Suamataia at No. 56 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at pick No. 87 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick216 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
The board fumbled Tahj Washington all the way to Round 6, Pick 41, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick233 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand slid further than he should have, and slot 233 is lovely value for the linebacker. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick244 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
They reached into another round for Richard Jibunor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
