The rest of the league had time to spare on Jackson Powers-Johnson; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 28 spots ahead at pick 24.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. The Beebe steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.24 · Pick 24 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 52
A big swing on Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 24th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · T'Vondre Sweat · DL · rank 60
No edge and no loss on T'Vondre Sweat in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 78
Cooper Beebe in the 87th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Ainias Smith · WR · rank 116
A tidy bit of business in No. 124, where Ainias Smith graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 180
Michael Barrett at pick No. 174 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
