The tape said wait; the Cowboys did not. Barryn Sorrell went at No. 204, a good 111 picks before the board was ready. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Brown falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
