They were talking on 105.3 the fan about the trade down.
During the press conference Stephen said they had four players the liked.
So when the lions offered the pick they moved down five spots and wagered that one of those four would drop.
He did in Tyler Guyton.
Turns out the four players were Tyler Guyton, Graham Barton, Jordan Morgan and DE Robinson.
Barton, Morgan and Robinson were taken....along with Detroit taking the DB.
Guyton was left and they put the card in.
Guyton was a target all along. Although not a 30 visit. Coaches did meet with Guyton at Combine and through zoom meetings. They also talked at the Senior Bowl and Guyton said that he and Solari had a great relationship.
A couple of other nuggets. Stephen said they were hoping to get that fourth round pick going into the draft but they did one better with the Lions trade by getting a third.
The trade, by the standard draft trade chart, was clearly a win for the Cowboys. Detroit wanted to move ahead of GB to get that DB so they overpaid some.
Something to consider as well. The majority of mock drafts by the pundits had the Cowboys taking Guyton at 24. But they got him at 29 and picked up a 3rd round pick. Actually a top half of the third round with a pick higher than the one they have.
It was also reported that even after the trade down to 29, they still got calls from teams trying to trade up but they stayed and got the player they wanted.
