Maybe they feel that the extra second, which would give us 4 in total (likely Dallas isn't a top 4 team) has as much value as Jankowksi. You could certainly make some moves with 2 firsts and three seconds or one first and 4 seconds.

2017 2nd round pick.
Jankowski can't be a UFA until August 15th this summer, well past the 2016 draft.
