Cowboys Trade Up for Linebacker Sonny Styles

0:00On April 17th, Wednesday's NFL mod draft dropped from Heavyweight's Mel Kuiper, Todd McShay and Dame Brugler, and get this, they all agree, the Dallas. Cowboys straight up to the number 6 overall pick for sunny styles, the linebacker out of Ohio State. The Cowboys defense got torch last season, giving up 30.1 points per game, the worst in the league, and second worst in yards per play, at 6.1. Trading up makes sense to grab a game changer like Styles, who's explosive with a 43.5 inch vertical, a 4.46, 40 yard dash, and 77 tackles last year. Fans and execs are buzzing because Styles brings elite athleticism at 6.5, 244 pounds. The biggest linebacker in the class plus top speed and smarts that could run a company post football. He'd wear the green dot as a rookie signal caller right away. Each mock tweaks the trade with Cleveland differently. Kuiper has them sending pick 12 for 6 and 39, landing Styles and Clemson DE, TJ, Parker.

1:04McShay costs pick 12, 92, and a 20, 27 second for just 6th, keeping 20 for Tennessee corner, Germain McCoy. Brugler swaps 12, 20, and a future 4th for 6th and 39, adding more depth like DB trade and Stukes. All point to a defensive overhaul that could flip the Cowboys script, sacrificing picks but stacking talent where it hurts most. Seven terrorizing quarterbacks come fall.
