It is often said that when there is smoke there is fire. That stands to reason. What we are about to discuss isn’t even smoke. It supersedes that from a chemical compound perspective, assuming that is the proper scientific technology.
The point is, whatever the terminology is, that we are about to discuss a source of smoke that is so hot it may as well be an inferno.
Mel Kiper, Todd McShay, and Dane Brugler all have Dallas making the same draft day trade
We have a week and change to go until the 2026 NFL Draft begins and next week will certainly be more tense what with it finally arriving.
In the lead up to that, NFL draft insiders, who have been working this circuit all along, are starting to empty the tank. They are offering everything that they have so that they have given this process their all.
On Wednesday three of the game’s top insiders released mock drafts. The three in question are Mel Kiper, Todd McShay, and Dane Brugler.
They all had the Dallas Cowboys trading up with the Cleveland Browns to number 6 overall to select Ohio State’s Sonny Styles.
Of the three offerings, both Kiper and Brugler have the Cowboys including their other first-round pick in the deal. McShay does not, but he has Dallas having to pony up a bit from next year by way of a second-rounder.
It is certainly curious, to say the least, that such top insiders all have the Cowboys making the exact same trade. Obviously the details are slightly different, but they all have Dallas moving up to the same spot and to select Styles.
Perhaps this is too much smoke? Maybe it is so obviously impossible in that sense? This is a bit of a rare happening as far as NFL draft rumors are concerned.
Do you buy any of it? And which of the deals do you like the most?
