Thirty-one other rooms let Tahj Washington slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at slot 233. Highway robbery.

The Anderson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.24 · Pick 24 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 21
In pick No. 24 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Zach Frazier · C · rank 62
Zach Frazier in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 91
They took Bucky Irving at par in slot 87, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Kalen King · CB · rank 139
Kalen King at Round 5, Pick 38 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 198
Curtis Jacobs at pick 216 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Tahj Washington · WR · rank 188
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tahj Washington in the 233rd overall pick, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.24 · Pick 244 · Evan Anderson · DL · rank 283
Evan Anderson in No. 244 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
