NFL Trade Verdict

Dallas Cowboys Win

Buffalo acquired 2025 5th round pick (170th overall, Jordan Hancock) and 2026 7th round pick (228th overall subsequently traded, VJ Payne) from Dallas Cowboys for Kaiir Elam and 2025 6th round pick (204th overall, Ajani Cornelius). This was primarily a draft-capital exchange. The available record does not show a decisive long-term separation, so the fair treatment is a balanced grade unless the selected players created a clear outcome gap
