Larceny in the 244th overall pick lands the Cowboys a B-, Washington and all. The Cowboys did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Tahj Washington fell into pick No. 244.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Watts pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick48
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
They robbed the room for Kool-Aid McKinstry here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick63
Rnd2
Bralen Trice
No edge and no loss on Bralen Trice in pick No. 63; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick87
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil is a better player than slot 87 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94
Rnd3
Blake Corum
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Blake Corum for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick96
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
A reasonable price with a little left over, Dominick Puni in Round 3, Pick 33. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
They will replay Luke McCaffrey at the 174th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick176
Rnd6
Kitan Oladapo
Taking Kitan Oladapo in No. 176 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at pick 211 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick215
Rnd6
Eric Watts
Eric Watts at Round 6, Pick 40 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick216
Rnd6
Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield in No. 216 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick233
Rnd7
Kendall Milton
The board fumbled Kendall Milton all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick243
Rnd7
Tylan Grable
They read the board right and Tylan Grable was the payoff at pick No. 243. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick244
Rnd7
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at slot 244 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
