Cowboys deal out of first round

IRVING – Trader Jerry strikes again.

Holding the 22nd pick in the first round for the second time in three years, the Cowboys once again traded away the position, picking up Cleveland's second-round pick this year (36th overall) and the Browns' first-rounder in 2008, sticking with Jerry Jones' history as a mover and shaker.

The trade allowed Cleveland to pick up quarterback Brady Quinn.

The Cowboys benefited from Quinn's slide. Quinn was projected as a top-10 selection before the draft but was still available at No. 22, which allowed them to make the deal.

The Cowboys now have the 36th (second), 53rd (second), 88th (third), 122nd (fourth), 159th (fifth) 195th (sixth), 200th (sixth), 212th (seventh), 234th (seventh) and 237th (seventh) picks.

In 2004, the Cowboys traded the 22nd pick to Buffalo so the Bills could pick quarterback J.P. Losman. The Cowboys picked up the Bills' second-round pick (No. 43 overall) and picked running back Julius Jones and their fifth-round pick (No. 144) where they took tight end Sean Ryan. The Cowboys also picked up Buffalo's first-round pick in 2005 and drafted defensive end Marcus Spears with the 20th pick.
