Cowboys' Draft Rumors: Bailey Trade Skepticism

On April 4, Dallas Cowboys Spans are buzzing about rumors that the team might trade way up in the draft to snag David Bailey the standout pass, Russia from Texas Tech.

Cowboys brass loves this guy, who's widely seen as the top defense of talent available, and with their past rush needing a boost, it makes sense on paper.

Bailey's projected to go in the top three picks later this month, while Dallas sits at number 12.

Earlier this week, social media lit up with tweets claiming the Cowboys are in talks with the Arizona Cardinals to jump to their number three spot.

All panned on a report from Draft Guru, Todd McShay.

The chatter suggested Dallas might cough up their first rounder at 12 plus another pick to make it happen.

But reactions poured in fast, with fans dreaming big about landing that defensive stud and debating if the price is worth it.

Cowboys hold two first round picks, but the high big Nord house steeped the climb would be from 12 to 3.

Digging deeper, McShay's podcast was full of maybes and couldbes, not hard news.

He even questioned the noise around trades and mentioned keeping.

Talent in Texas as a loose idea.

Trade charts show number three is worth over 2,000 points, meaning Dallas would need their top three picks just to match value, which sounds way too rich.

Bottom line, this feels like smoke without fire right now.

Teams talk drafts all the time, but until picks fly on Draft Night, stay skeptical and watch.
