NFL Draft Expert: Bain to Cowboys at 12?

0:00On April 7th, an NFL draft expert just dropped a hot take on the Dallas Cowboys draft plans. ESPN's Matt Miller believes Miami-Ed Russia, Rubin Bain, could slide right to their pick-12 overall in Round 1. No need to trade up, even though most folks see Bain as a top 10 talent. Bains got short arms by NFL standards, measuring 30 and 7-8 inches at the combine. That raises eyebrows for pros making the jump from college. Still, he dominated at Miami with 9.5 sacks and 67 pressures last season. Cowboys fans know the edge spot is hurting bad. They traded Micah Parsons away and finished with just 35 sacks. They grabbed Rashan Gary and another Packers deal, but he faded late last year. No Jadevian Clowny return either. The catch, new defensive coordinator Christian Parker runs a 3-4 scheme, needing versatile edges. Bains more of a hand and dirt 4-3 end. Dallas might pass or flip him for extra picks if someone trades up.

1:00Either way, this shakes up Cowboys draft buzz could be a steel or smart pivot as Round 1 unfolds.
