A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B. 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 Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In No. 17 they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at pick 44 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick49
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
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.
Pick76
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
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.
Pick119
Rnd4
Barrett Carter
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.
Pick149
Rnd5
Logan Brown
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.
Pick171
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
They barely believed it either: Tyler Shough still on the board at the 171st pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174
Rnd5
Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at pick No. 174 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick204
Rnd6
Barryn Sorrell
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.
Pick211
Rnd6
CJ West
They paid sticker price for CJ West in No. 211, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239
Rnd7
Nohl Williams
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.
Pick247
Rnd7
Cody Lindenberg
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.
