Cowboys Trade Up for Star LB Sonny Styles!
15 Apr
Summary
- Cowboys trade two first-round picks to Browns for pick 6 and 39.
- Dallas selects Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles with the acquired pick.
- Browns acquire Alabama tackle Kadyn Proctor in the trade-down.
Mel Kiper Jr. envisions a significant trade scenario in the upcoming NFL Draft, involving the Dallas Cowboys and the Cleveland Browns. The Cowboys, currently holding picks 12 and 20, are projected to send both selections to the Browns in exchange for pick No. 6 and pick No. 39. This strategic move would allow Dallas to draft Ohio State's highly-touted linebacker, Sonny Styles, who Kiper ranks as his No. 4 prospect.
Kiper highlights the Cowboys' dire need for defensive improvement, noting their struggles last season with allowing 30.1 points per game. Styles, described as explosive and rangy, could be the transformative defensive talent Dallas seeks. Meanwhile, the Browns, after trading down from the sixth pick, are projected to select Alabama offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor at No. 12. Proctor is seen as a potential long-term solution for the Browns' offensive line.
