Cowboys' Draft Trade Buzz: Bailey or Bust?

On April 3rd, NFL draft buzz is heating up around the Dallas Cowboys, potentially trading

up from their number 12 pick to snag Texas Tech Edge.

Expert Todd McShay is hearing chatterly wide about Dallas, making a big move for this

in-state past Rush Tallinn, especially after they focused on, rebuilding their defense last

year.

Bailey's sitting pretty as the number 3 overall projection in Bleacher Report's latest

mock, headed to the Arizona Carnals.

But McShay thinks Arizona might slide back one or two spots to grab Notre Dame running

back Jeremiah Love instead, opening the door for Dallas.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is all in on exploring trades, saying they've got the ammo with

picks at number 12, number 20, in round 1, and number 92 in round 3.

Fans in Scouse see Bailey as a third down nightmare, with his deep bag of past Rush moves perfect

to fill the void when Michael Parsons is out.

Bruce Filman's mock from the athletic lays out a steep price.

Dallas coughs up number 12 and number 92 to jump to number 3.

That lets Arizona pivot to Georgia offensive tackle and row-freeling at 12, fixing their

line holes after losing tackles in free agency.

This trade talk shows how aggressive Dallas could get to boost that defense, keep an eye

on it as the draft class shapes them.
