Cowboys Trade Up for Linebacker Sonny Styles

0:00On April 15th, the Dallas Cowboys are feeling the heat after missing the playoffs in their first season under hit coach Brian Shottenheimer, and now all eyes are on the 2026 NFL Draft just a week away. ESPN's Mel Kuiper Jr. dropped a fresh mock draft with Dallas trading up from their 12th and 20th picks to snag the Browns 6th and 39th overall spots. In this deal, the Cowboys grab a Ohio State linebacker sunny styles, Kuiper's number 4 prospect overall to fix their defense that got torched last. Year giving up 30.1 points per game, the worst in the league. Fans and analysts are buzzing because Dallas shipped out Michael Parsons and desperately needs defensive playmakers with styles bringing explosive. Speed at 4.46 in the 40 yard dash and 77 tackles from last season. Kuiper then has them taking Clemson Eddresser TJ Parker at number 39 to pair with the Rashon Gary they got in the offseason trade, addressing that weak front even if it costs the first rounder.
