Cowboys' Mock Draft: Sonny Styles to Shore Up Defense

0:00On March 9th, the Dallas Cowboys haven't won a Super Bowl in 30 years, despite being one of the most popular teams in sports. Last season, under new head coach Brian Schadenheimer, they finished seven wins, nine losses, and one tie. Their offense ranked among the league's best thanks to his play-calling, but the defense was a real problem. A recent mock-draft from CBS Sports writer Tom Fernelli has the Cowboys making a big splash. He predicts they'll trade with the Kansas City Chiefs to jump into the ninth spot and grab Ohio State linebacker, Sonny Stiles. Fans and analysts agree that Cowboys desperately need defensive help to snap that long drought. A week unit allowed the most passing yards and points in the league, plus poor marks against the run. Stiles put up solid college numbers with 244 tackles, 22 and a half tackles for loss, nine sacks, and one interception. His NFL combine performance stole the show though, with a 4.46 second 40 yard dash, a 43.5

1:00inch vertical jump, and top athletic scores for linebackers. Landing a talent like Stiles could finally shore up that defense and get Dallas back in contention for a title run.
