Cowboys' Mock Draft: Sonny Styles & Cisse

About this episode

The Dallas Cowboys, aiming to bounce back after a disappointing season, focus on the 2026 NFL Draft. They trade up to pick six, selecting Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles, a freak athlete who could immediately improve their struggling linebacker play. In the second round, they acquire South Carolina cornerback Brandon Cisse, adding depth to their secondary. Later, they draft Auburn edge rusher Keyron Crawford in the third round, bolstering their pass rush. The Cowboys continue to address their needs in the later rounds, selecting a wideout, defensive lineman, running back, tackle, and safety. These picks aim to strengthen their defense, add offensive depth, and provide Prescott with more weapons, potentially setting them up for a playoff run.

On April 17th, the Dallas Cowboys are laser focused on the 2026 NFL draft after trading Micah Parsons for first round pick this year, and missing the playoffs. With Dak Prescott still in his prime and George Pickens potentially on the roster, they need to rebuild fast to chase postseason glory. This mock draft has them trading up to pick 6 with the Browns for Ohio State linebacker Sunny Styles, a freak athlete who crushed the combine, and could fix their awful linebacker play right away. They snag a second rounder from that trade at Pick 39 for South Carolina cornerback, Brandon Sissy, another athletic monster with massive, upside and coverage perfect for depth behind Doron Blan and Shavon Revel. Then in round 3 by the 49est trade, they grab Auburn Eddrusher Kiwan Crawford who out produced teammates last year with 5 sacks and fits the new 3-4 defense like a glove. After rounds feel key gaps, a speedy fourth round wide out, Brennan Thompson from Mississippi

State, to stretch the field behind Lamb and Pickens, Missouri defensive lineman Chris McClellan for interior beef, Texas A&M running back, Lavion Moss, to back up Javante Williams, Illinois, Tackle JC, Davis for Line Def and Miami Safety, a Kobe Thomas as a coverage steal in round 7. Fans are buzzing about styles as a Parsons replacement with off-ball versatility in Eddrusher flashes, while Crawford and Sissy bring raw tools that new defensive coordinator Christian Parker can polish quick. These picks address linebacker woes, secondary health risks, past rush needs, and offensive depth without overreaching. If this draft shakes out, Dows could reload their defense and add weapons, setting up a real shot at contending while Prescott slings it, keeping the star-powered offense humming and the cowboys back in the hunt.
