Dallas sent 2019 fifth-round No. 149 to Oakland, which used the pick on Hunter Renfrow, for fifth-round No. 158 Michael Jackson and seventh-round No. 218 Mike Weber. Renfrow became a productive Raiders slot receiver and Pro Bowl-level contributor, while Dallas received far less lasting value from its two selections. Oakland clearly won the exchange.

Trade Analysis
The Exchange
Dallas and Oakland completed a draft-day move on April 27, 2019. The Cowboys sent fifth-round No. 149 to the Raiders and received fifth-round No. 158 plus seventh-round No. 218. Oakland used No. 149 on Hunter Renfrow, while Dallas selected Michael Jackson at No. 158 and Mike Weber at No. 218. This is a direct Dallas-Raiders exchange and stands apart from other same-day pick trades.
Dallas Cowboys Return
Dallas sent 2019 fifth-round No. 149 to Oakland, which used the pick on Hunter Renfrow, for fifth-round No. 158 Michael Jackson and seventh-round No. 218 Mike Weber. Renfrow became a productive Raiders slot receiver and Pro Bowl-level contributor, while Dallas received far less lasting value from its two selections. Oakland clearly won the exchange.
Oakland Raiders Return
Oakland moved down nine spots in the fifth round and added a seventh-rounder to Dallas, but the Raiders used No. 149 on Hunter Renfrow. Dallas selected Michael Jackson at No. 158 and Mike Weber at No. 218. Renfrow's sustained receiving production dramatically exceeded Dallas's return, giving the Raiders the decisive hindsight advantage.
Value in Hindsight
This is the kind of trade where the move-down logic can look sound initially but the player outcomes settle the argument. Dallas gained quantity, yet neither pick produced durable team value. Oakland consolidated its assets and landed the clear best player in the transaction by a wide margin. Renfrow's career makes the difference too large to treat as a narrow win.
Final Verdict
Oakland/Las Vegas earns a B+ and Dallas a D+. The Raiders used No. 149 on a productive long-term receiver, while the Cowboys received little lasting return from Nos. 158 and 218. The Raiders win the trade decisively.
