By far the biggest story of the Dallas Cowboys’ last preseason game hosting the Las Vegas Raiders had nothing to do with the players on the field. It was the addition of QB Trey Lance to the team via trade with the San Francisco 49ers, even though he will not arrive in Dallas until Sunday. The move was a bit of a stunner, but was clearly a continuation of the recent shift in thinking in Dallas about how to best utilize draft capital.

- WR Brandin Cooks (5th round pick)
- CB Stephon Gilmore (5th round pick)
- QB Trey Lance (4th round pick)
The front office in Dallas deserves praise for this master class #DallasCowboys pic.
