The Lions have traded WR Roy Williams to the Cowboys for a first, third and sixth round pick. The Cowboys also receive a seventh-round pick from the Lions in 2009.
Here are the Cowboys' 09 picks:
First, second, third, fourth, fifth, seventh round, plus:
Third round from Cleveland for fourth-rounder in 2008
Fourth round from Detroit for third-rounder in 2008
Sixth round*
Sixth round from Miami for nose tackle Jason Ferguson
*If Adam Jones stays out of trouble. Since Adam Jones is suspended for 4 games by the league, the Cowboys get this Sixth Rounder pick back.
Honestly, this is a great pickup for the Cowboys. They only have 3 receivers on their roster currently. Hurd is gone for the season, and Stanbach is injury plagued and out. The Cowboys need Miles Austin or Patrick Crayton to return kicks/punts. Plus, Austin and Crayton are not going to draw the kind of coverage Roy Williams will. I mean, how do you scheme against TO, Roy Williams, Witten, Crayton/Austin, Barber, Felix Jones and Romo? Of course, assuming everyone is not injured and the offensive line starts to play like they used to.
