Cowboys' Draft Dilemma: Bain or Trade Up?

0:00On April 14th, Dallas Cowboys are eyeing pass rushers in this year's draft, and Ruben Bain Jr. for Miami has been popping up as a name. The guy is disruptive on the edge, filling a big knee for the team at pick 12. But Cowboys insider Brian Brottis says, don't count on a happening. Earlier this week, Brottis pointed to a 2024 incident that Bain had to explain in interviews. Some teams weren't satisfied with his answers, and Scouts knew it was coming up. On top of that, Bain's arm length is off to charts. Nobody with arms that long has ever been drafted high. Fans and analysts are split on whether it's a deal breaker? Cowboys need help across the defense, and passing on a talent like Bain could sting if he blows up elsewhere. Brottis thinks teams get stuck on measurables and won't budge. Meanwhile, Dallas might trade up into the top 10 for safer bets like Arbel Reese, Caleb Downs, or Sunny Styles from Ohio State. Those guys are hot commodities without the red flags.

1:00Whatever move they make at pick 12, it better pay off on the field. The Cowboys can't afford to miss in this high stakes first round.
