According to trade value chart. The cowboys gave up the 18th overall pick worth 900 points. Moving down to pick 31 earned them 600 points therefore need something else to make up the 300 points. That equals a middle second round pick. However they settled for the 74th overall pick in the 3rd round worth only 220 points.
This means the Cowboys got lesser value moving off the 18th pick, should of received either a secound round pick from SF or their 3rd & 4th pick in this draft.
The typical thinking when a team trades down and doesn't take equal value is all their targets were off the board and did not want to reach badly at their original spot. Teams only make those bad reaches when they can't find a trade partner. I imagine SF was one of few teams who called Jerry and he tried to play hardball but they knew he wanted to move down so he had little leverage in that negotiation. He got schooled!
