Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions
Dallas moved down and came away with Dexter Coakley and Antonio Anderson. Coakley became the defining return, developing into a long-time starting linebacker and earning three Pro Bowl selections during his Cowboys career. Anderson added immediate defensive service as well. Coakley's longevity and high-end production turned a modest draft maneuver into a major value win and easily justify Dallas' strong grade.
