The Dallas Cowboys began the 2023 NFL Draft last Thursday night with seven picks to their name, and before it was all said and done, actually made eight selections thanks to trading into the top of the sixth round. At no point in time did they trade back.
When Dallas moved into the sixth (for cornerback Eric Scott Jr.) it actually marked the fourth trade that they have executed that involved capital in this particular draft. It was just the only one that they executed on draft weekend itself.
Earlier this offseason. the Cowboys dealt a fifth-round pick to the Houston Texans in order to acquire Brandin Cooks, but just before that they sent another fifth-round pick to the Indianapolis Colts for Stephon Gilmore.
