In 2009 the Cowboys have two third round picks and two 6th round picks from deals done during the last draft.
So they surrendered a first rounder for Williams. And to justify that you just have to ask what WR would be available and worthy of a first round pick in the 2009 draft?
Essentially, Dallas used thier first round pick on a WR. They just did it in October instead of April is all.
I know, three picks is a lot, but I am just trying to put it in perspective is all.

These are the same rationalizations we make when we trade away 1st rounders. Everyone thinks we're idiots when we make them too.
They paid a premium no doubt. This reeks of desperation.
