Stephen Jones said the Cowboys did not trade down for the purpose of adding picks. Rather, they had players they liked taken just before their picks, and that is why they traded down.
For pick 136, the Falcons traded up with Oakland to get pick 135 ahead of the Cowboys, and selected DE John Cominsky. Then the Cowboys traded out of pick 136 to get picks 149 and pick 213.
When the 49ers jumped in at pick 148 in a trade with Denver to draft LB Dre Greenlaw, the Cowboys moved back again to pick to pick 158, and got pick 218 from the Raiders.
So the reason the Cowboys traded back was because the Falcons and 49ers jumped ahead to them to take the players they wanted at the their draft position.
