0:00On April 20th, in a fresh mock-trade battle sparked by the latest NFL shake-up, the Dallas Cowboys traded up from pick number 12 to number 4, with the Tennessee Titans. They snagged Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles, a top defender to plug their biggest gap before the season kicks off. This set up highlights real strategies as the draft sits just one week out. The deal had the Titans grabbing picks, number 12, number 20, and a 20-27 second rounder, while Dallas picked up number 4 and, number 66 in the third round. It's a bold move, but it underscores how pricey jumping into the top 5 can get with all those assets on the table.
