The rest of the league had time to spare on Barryn Sorrell; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 111 spots ahead at pick No. 204.
Getting Williams where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The trade work was a quiet net positive.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 17 they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Tyler Warren at pick 44 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Omarion Hampton at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Maxwell Hairston at slot 76 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Somehow Barrett Carter was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 17, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Good price on Logan Brown in the 149th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
They barely believed it either: Tyler Shough still on the board at the 171st pick. It fills a real need, too.
Willie Lampkin at pick No. 174 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
They reached into another round for Barryn Sorrell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
They paid sticker price for CJ West in No. 211, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Nohl Williams in Round 7, Pick 23 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Cody Lindenberg at the 247th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
