5 Apr
Summary
- Dallas Cowboys may trade up in NFL Draft for an edge rusher.
- Todd McShay suggests a potential trade with Arizona Cardinals.

The Dallas Cowboys are actively seeking to enhance their defensive front, with the NFL Draft presenting a prime opportunity to secure an elite edge rusher. Analyst Todd McShay has floated the idea of a significant draft-day trade, suggesting the Cowboys could partner with the Arizona Cardinals to move up to the third overall selection. This strategic move would target David Bailey, a player lauded for his explosiveness and exceptional performance off the line of scrimmage.
Bailey, who transferred to Texas Tech for his senior collegiate season, delivered a breakout performance. He amassed 52 total tackles and an impressive 14.5 sacks, contributing to a Texas Tech team that reached the College Football Playoff. While he may not be an immediate NFL superstar, Bailey's vast potential, coupled with the Cowboys' pressing need for edge rush assistance, makes him a logical target for Dallas.
