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

R1.17 · Pick 17 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 9
In No. 17 they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 16
Tyler Warren at pick 44 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 32
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.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Maxwell Hairston · CB · rank 73
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.
R4.17 · Pick 119 · Barrett Carter · LB · rank 80
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.
R5.11 · Pick 149 · Logan Brown · OT · rank 143
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.
R5.33 · Pick 171 · Tyler Shough · QB · rank 136
They barely believed it either: Tyler Shough still on the board at the 171st pick. It fills a real need, too.
R5.36 · Pick 174 · Willie Lampkin · OG · rank 169
Willie Lampkin at pick No. 174 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.28 · Pick 204 · Barryn Sorrell · LB-EDGE · rank 315
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.
R6.35 · Pick 211 · CJ West · DT · rank 213
They paid sticker price for CJ West in No. 211, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.23 · Pick 239 · Nohl Williams · CB · rank 177
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.
R7.31 · Pick 247 · Cody Lindenberg · LB · rank 246
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.
