The one they had to fix is still broken. The Cowboys left cornerback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick-by-Pick
By-the-book stuff, Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 24th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
A straight-up fair deal on Payton Wilson at No. 56, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
No edge and no loss on Javon Baker in Round 3, Pick 24; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
No drama and no debate, Cody Schrader went about where he belonged in the 174th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
