Dallas traded one player that was probably not going to be on the roster in September (Ayodele), and traded a guy who has a better chance of being a starter in Miami because Jason Witten is solidly entrenched there.

Cowboys traded their 4th rounder (126 overall) to the Titans on the Pacman deal. Now they managed to get back into the 4th round and move up 27 spots and now have the 100th pick in the 4th round. Which happens to be the first pick of the 4th.

And people can speculate all they want about "a high price for a 4th rounder."
Well what matters is the pick, and Dallas moved back into the top 100 picks with this trade.

And if we really want to get technical about it, since the Patriots for forfeited their first rounder due to "Spygate", this is really the 99th pick of the draft. And the 99th pick of the draft is technically a 3rd round pick. IT is the last pick of the 3rd.

And, must add that history has shown that Dallas has done very well with 4th rounders. Marion Barber and Chris Canty are both former 4th round picks.
