"At the time, 21 of the 25 mocks (84%) were projecting the Cowboys to take a linebacker, with Sonny Styles (17 mocks, 68%) the clear favorite. The second most popular position was cornerback with 15 picks (60%), followed by edge rushers with 11 picks (44%). The early consensus seemed to be LB Sonny Styles with the 12th pick and a CB with the 20th pick, a combo offered by 10 of the 25 mocks or 40% of the time."
"On the hypothesis that the predictive value of multiple mock drafts is greater than that of a single mock, we are taking a survey of 40 different mock drafts today. Importantly, all 40 mocks were published on or after February 1st, giving us a big data set of the latest mock drafts. And here are all those 40 mocks, and which two players they have the Cowboys selecting."
At the end of January, 21 of 25 early mocks (84%) projected the Cowboys to take a linebacker, with Sonny Styles receiving 17 of those picks (68%). Cornerback was the second most popular position in those mocks, followed by edge rushers. Since then, several events and evaluations occurred, prompting a new survey of 40 mock drafts published on or after February 1. The latest mocks show a move away from linebackers toward edge rushers and an increase in picks at other positions. Sonny Styles still leads but with a reduced margin, while cornerback attention has concentrated on two top prospects.
