"As it currently stands, 21 of the 25 mocks are projecting the Cowboys to take a linebacker, with Sonny Styles (17 mocks) the clear favorite ahead of Arvell Reese (2) and C.J. Allen (2). The second most popular position is cornerback, but the consensus here is less clear with Avieon Terrell (7) ahead of Colton Hood (5) and Brandon Cisse (3). Edge rushers come in third overall with the mocks defaulting to Keldrick Faulk (6) with Akheem Mesidor (2) and Cashius Howell (1) also getting some consideration."
"The early consensus here seems to be LB Sonny Styles with the 12th pick and a CB with the 20th pick, a combo offered by 10 mocks. But keep in mind, it's still January, and a lot of things can still happen. When we did a similar exercise last year, Ashton Jeanty (13 of 25 mocks) and Luther Burden (9) were the favorites. Not a single mock had the Cowboys taking an offensive lineman."
Twenty-five mock drafts from the past two weeks show 21 projections of the Cowboys selecting a linebacker. Sonny Styles appears in 17 mocks, Arvell Reese in two and C.J. Allen in two. Cornerback is the second-most projected position, led by Avieon Terrell (7), Colton Hood (5) and Brandon Cisse (3). Edge rusher targets include Keldrick Faulk (6), Akheem Mesidor (2) and Cashius Howell (1). Ten mocks pair a linebacker at pick 12 and a cornerback at pick 20. Average draft position and pick-availability were calculated from the 25 mocks. The early pattern favors LB, CB and EDGE, with January timing as a major caveat.
