Results from all Dallas Cowboys draft picks, trades, and processes that led to it all

What happened to the picks the Cowboys traded that were traded again?

Some of the picks that the Cowboys dealt away were not used on players. Such is life in the NFL. A handful of the picks that Dallas moved were moved again a few times as listed above. Here is the story behind each of those picks and how they traveled across the league.

• **2. 44:** As noted this pick left the Cowboys and sat in the hands of the Jets, but the Lions wanted to move up for a Michigan man. New York moved down six spots in the second round from 44 to 50 and also picked up pick 128 in the fourth round.
• **5. 152:** Dallas sent this pick to San Francisco as the second round began, but the 49ers quickly moved it to the Browns before the round was over. Cleveland jumped up to pick 58 to select Emmanuel McNeil-Warren and also received a fifth-rounder which was 152. In return the 49ers received a third- (70) and fourth-round pick (107) from Cleveland. Interestingly though, the Browns wound up moving it, too. The Denver Broncos traded up and used the pick themselves to select Justin Joly. In exchange the Browns then picked up 170 (5th) and 182 (6th).
• **7. 228:** The Cowboys sent Buffalo this pick for Kaiir Elam, but then it passed hands a couple of times. Chronologically the pick next went to the Las Vegas Raiders alongside cornerback Taron Johnson (Buffalo improved the pick to a sixth-rounder) before going to the Jets as a part of the Geno Smith trade earlier this offseason. Only one original Cowboys draft pick was made by the team themselves. Props if you remember it from the mention up top. It was Drew Shelton in the fourth round. Sometimes things can get sideways like that. That’s that!
