The Dallas Cowboys chose Memphis running back Tony Pollard with their first fourth-round pick in 2019 (128th overall). They had one more (136th) but instead of using it on a player they decided to trade back. More picks are coming!
Cowboys trade pick #136 to the Bengals for picks #149 and #213.

In exchange for the 136th overall pick the Cowboys picked up picks 149 and 213. That’s an extra fifth- and sixth-round selection. Dallas previously didn’t have a sixth-round pick so now they have seven total and one in every round save for the first.
Dallas obviously liked snagging Pollard and was content to move on from the fourth round. More picks is never a bad thing, but now we’ll have to wait a bit more to see another pick from the team. Instead of two picks in the fourth round they’ll now nab a pair in the fifth instead. Things are starting to heat up around the Cowboys, get excited!
