Dallas traded the 29th and 112th picks to Green Bay for Nos. 46, 54, 94 and 213 in the 1993 draft. The Cowboys used those selections on Kevin Williams, Darrin Smith, Derrick Lassic and Reggie Givens. Smith became a durable championship-era linebacker, and the four-player return gave Dallas more useful roster value than Green Bay received from George Teague and Al Fontenot.

Trade Analysis
Dallas's 1993 draft-day exchange with Green Bay was larger than a simple two-for-three swap. The Cowboys sent the 29th overall pick and No. 112 to the Packers. In return, Dallas received Nos. 46, 54, 94 and 213. Those selections became Kevin Williams, Darrin Smith, Derrick Lassic and Reggie Givens. The No. 54 selection is essential to the package because Smith became one of the most useful players produced by either side.
Green Bay used No. 29 on safety George Teague and No. 112 on defensive lineman Al Fontenot. Teague later became well known during a second stint with Dallas, but his Packers tenure was relatively short, so his later Cowboys contributions should not inflate Green Bay's return. Fontenot also had a multi-year NFL career but did not become a major long-term piece for the Packers.
Dallas spread the acquired capital across four players. Williams contributed as a receiver and returner, Lassic had a brief role at running back, and Givens supplied depth. Smith was the best Dallas outcome: he started 13 games as a rookie, remained part of the defense during the club's championship period and eventually played 156 NFL games. His career extended well beyond Dallas, but the Cowboys received meaningful early value while contending for titles.
The Cowboys earn the A because the trade created multiple usable roster pieces without surrendering a top-tier first-round slot. Green Bay's C acknowledges that Teague was an NFL-caliber player, yet the Packers did not retain enough long-term value from the two selections to match Dallas's four-player return. Including Smith in the package makes the gap clearer than an incomplete accounting would suggest.
