Thirty-one other rooms let T.J. Tampa slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at pick 87. Highway robbery. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
If Jordan pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 24 they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 56th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Circle this one: T.J. Tampa at the 87th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Nice patience on Will Shipley, who had no business lasting to No. 124. The roster fit checks out.
Value with a capital V on Edefuan Ulofoshio in Round 5, Pick 38, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Jawhar Jordan in the Round 6 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Christian Jones at pick No. 245 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
