Cowboys-Browns Trade Buzz: Blockbuster in NFL Draft

0:00On April 17th, mock draft experts are buzzing about a potential blockbuster trade between the Dallas Cowboys and Cleveland Browns in the 20-26 NFL Draft. All three big names, Mel Kuiper, Dane Brugler, and Todd McShay have the Cowboys sending their 12th overall pick to Cleveland in exchange for the Browns 6th overall slot with some extra pieces thrown in. The variations come down to the side deals. Kuiper has Cleveland grabbing the Cowboys 20th pick and Dallas getting the Browns 39th. Brugler mirrors that, but adds a future 4th rounder from Cleveland. McShay keeps his simpler, with Cleveland taking the 12th and a future 2nd rounder, while Dallas just jumps up. For the Cowboys, this move screams chasing a superstar. They're eyeing linebacker sunny styles. The top guy at his position and projected in the top 5. With two first round picks already from the Micah Parsons deal, they can afford to pack as the 12th and maybe the 20th to land him and boost. That defense.

The guys available deeper in the draft. Multiple first give them more shots at high end talent without reaching. Analysts CV swaps a solid value for both sides, keeping pick count steady while filling key holes. But drafts are wild cards, so if Jerry Jones pulls the trigger, it'll be classic Dallas drama heading into draft night.
