Cowboys Shake Up Draft with Bold Trades

0:00On April 20, draft weeks finally here for the 2026 NFL draft, and in this pro-foot ball-focus simulator mock, the Dallas Cowboys shake, things up, big time. They trade picks 12 and 20, plus a 2027 second-rounder, to the Browns for the sixth and 24th picks, plus a fourth next, year. That lets them snag elite-edge Russia David Bailey after he slips out of the top five. The Browns love moving down just six spots to grab their linemen, while jumping up later, and Dallas capitalizes perfectly. Later, the Cowboys slide back a bit in the fourth for extra picks, landing Clemson cornerback Avion Terrell, without much competition. This hall hits key spots hard. Bailey joins Donovan Azzeruaku, and Rashan Gary, to build a nasty pass rush rotation, with Ohio State's Caden Curry adding. Step-flate, fans are buzzing about the speed and traits, fixing a weak edge group overnight. At corner, Terrell slots in with Darren Blan and Shavon Revel, ready to start outside, or in the slot, depending on Blan's foot recovery.

1:04Linebackers get a boost too, with 230 visit guys, Anthony Hill Jr., and Caleb Elarms, or bringing chase-down speed to pair with the Marvian. Overshown if he's healthy. Overall, this mock arms the Cowboys with starters at premium spots, balancing the roster from edge to secondary, setting them up to compete without. Breaking the bank on vets.
