Giants Trade Up, Block Cowboys' Draft Plans

0:00On April 20th, the New York Giants just pulled off a trade that straight crushed the Dallas Cowboys draft plans at Pick 12 and the 20. 26 NFL Draft. By Snaggin Pick 5 and Pick 10, they jumped ahead and blocked Dallas from easy access to top defensive talents. Earlier this week, Cowboys fans were dreaming big about landing Caleb Downs or Sunny Styles, two blue chip defenders ranked in the top 10 by experts, like Daniel Jeremiah. Downs is that rangy safety with elite IQ who locks down the back end, while Styles brings size and speed as a linebacker edge guy, perfect fits for. Dallas's needs. Fans are fuming because the Giants, a heated rival with a defensive coach and massive holes on that side, were already linked to these exact players. Before the trade, Dallas could hope for a slide, but now New York's got two shots in the top 10 to Snaggin first. The board's got to fall just right for one to drop to 12 now, which feels like a long shot. Reports had downs going anywhere from 5 to 12 anyway, so Dallas was sweating, but this move forces their hand might need both first round picks to trade up and beat the Giants at their own game.

1:10Bottom line, the Cowboys path got way rockier, and the Giants are loving sticking it to their NFC East foes. Draft Knight's going to be wild.
