Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Atlanta moved up five spots for defensive back Ron Davis, sending Dallas the 46th and 110th picks. Davis played only 12 NFL games and made five starts. Dallas selected running back Sherman Williams and tight end Eric Bjornson, who combined for 142 regular-season games and useful supporting roles on a championship roster. The Cowboys turned a small move down into two contributors and won comfortably.
Trade 2 of 2
Tampa Bay sent Dallas the 41st and 63rd picks in the 1995 draft to acquire No. 28, where the Buccaneers selected linebacker Derrick Brooks. Dallas later moved No. 41 and used the resulting capital on additional players, but nothing in the Cowboys’ return approached Brooks’ impact. Brooks became an 11-time Pro Bowler, Defensive Player of the Year, Super Bowl champion and Hall of Famer. Acquiring a franchise legend for two second-round picks makes Tampa Bay the decisive winner.
