The Dallas Cowboys are reminding everyone why they are regarded as one of the best drafting teams in the NFL. After an exceptional showing on Day 2, Dallas has continued that momentum into the event's final four rounds.
After sitting out of round four, they finally got a running back in the fifth in the form of Texas speedster Jaydon Blue, who was hidden behind some really good Longhorns running backs. They followed that by trading up for Florida linebacker Shemar James three picks later.
As always, though, it's not all sunshine and rainbows in Dallas.
Earlier on Day 3, the Panthers used the pick they acquired in the Jonathan Mingo trade on Georgia running back Trevor Etienne. Similarly, the details of the Joe Milton and Kaiir Elam trades are starting to trickle out as we get deeper into the draft.
Cowboys blew chance to draft Day 3 steals thanks to risky trades
The Bills used the comp pick acquired from Dallas in the Elam deal on Ohio State cornerback Jordan Hancock, who was a two-year starter in the nickel position for the national champion Buckeyes. While he doesn't have great lateral quickness, he's as versatile as any DB in the class.
In addition to nickel, Hancock lined up on the outside, in the box and even filled in at safety when Lathan Ransom was injured.

Hancock can be an instant contributor on special teams, likely on kickoff coverage while he adapts to the speed of the NFL. He's probably best suited as a safety relative to nickel, but he would have to see how defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus used him.
The Milton trade, meanwhile, has also come full-circle. The Cowboys traded pick No. 171 to the Patriots for Milton and pick No. 217. New England traded out of No. 171 with the Lions, who used that pick on LSU offensive lineman Miles Frazier.
A projected third-round pick by some experts, Frazier is one of the biggest steals on Day 3. The former Tiger didn't allow a single sack on 579 pass-block snaps last season, per PFF. He allowed just four sacks in his three years at LSU after transferring from Florida International.
While the Cowboys didn't really need Frazier after they took Tyler Booker in the first round, Frazier would have offered more depth along the offensive line with the ability to play multiple positions.
Fans in Dallas might be comfortable with Milton instead of Frazier, but Hancock could end up making a bigger difference in Buffalo than Elam does in North Texas.
