For the NFL, it's March 3rd. Here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. In ESPN analyst Jordan Reads, latest mock draft, the Dallas Cowboys trade back from the 12th overall pick and still land two top defensive backs to. Shore up their leaky secondary. The New York Jets jump up to that 12th spot to grab USC White Receiver McCoy Lemon right after taking Ohio State linebacker Arville Reese at number 2. In the deal, Dallas picks up a 4th round selection and a 7th rounder, pushing their total draft haul to 9 players. Fans and experts note the Cowboys gave up more draft value than they got back based on standard trade charts. Still, it fits their need to stop pile picks after a rough season where they allowed the most points per game in the league. At number 16, Dallas selects Oregon Safety, Dylan Thioneman, a combine standout with the lead speed and explosiveness who can line up anywhere in the back end.

They double down at number 20 with Clemson Cornerback Avion Terrell, a smooth, slot specialist who fills a keyhole left by last year's departures. And underwhelming play, thanks to our sponsor for helping bring you this episode.
