ESPN’s Field Yates on Sonny Styles: “Dallas’ offseason should be filled with defensive reinforcements, as the roster was imbalanced in 2025. Styles, who started as a safety at Ohio State, fits the mold of a modern NFL linebacker with his sideline-to-sideline range and ability to drop into coverage. He showed plenty of blitzing prowess in 2024 with six sacks, blending timing and instincts with his length and easy acceleration. There are few 2026 prospects with as much versatility as Styles, who played under longtime NFL defensive coordinator Matt Patricia this past season. New Cowboys defensive coordinator Christian Parker would love to have Styles as a building block in his scheme. After all, Dallas allowed 6.1 yards per play last season, second worst in the NFL behind the Bengals.”

One-word reaction to picking Sonny Styles at #12 overall?
B – Faulk is not my pick; I'd rather have Young.
I don't understand the mentality that the cowboys desperately need a pure pass rusher and that Keldrick Faulk wouldn't be an amazing addition because of that. We don't need Faulk to be a sack machine. DE can be that if you have someone like Faulk on the other side with Osa and Quinnen pushing the middle. Osa and Big Q will always more than likely account for 4 of the 5 offensive linemen and Faulk could squeeze the pocket from the other side leaving a tight end on Donovan that he'll be able to beat with his speed. I understand he doesn't have the pure pass rush prowess of a Reuben Bain or a David Bailey, but Faulk would be extremely beneficial as a pocket collapser in the pass game
Cool
Love this mock draft this is an absolute dream scenario.
Faulk is Taco Charleton 2.0
Faulk is another 🌮 😂
There will be more offensive players taken in the top 10 and 20 than all of the so called experts think. Dallass will have good ootions at 12 and stll get a good edge or corner at 20. McCoy will be there at 20 most likely and he's the best corner in this draft. He'll slide.
Faulk? Hell no
Sonny Stiles yeah, 😊😊
If the Cowboys are resigning Clowny , they shouldn't back away from drafting Faulk if he's there
HARD pass on 🌮 Faulk. Bust potential too high. Have to hit on both 1st rd picks.
WHY do they keep mocking Faulk to Dallas, I’d rather they use pick 20 on Dillon Thieneman
This is prolly one of the worst draft possible other than getting a offensive player. Ill say it again. Styles played 1 year at lb. That is not enough time to say hes the "leader" of your nfl defense. College sure but nfl is different. And i like faulk but the production isnt there always. If we take a lb at 12 id rather take a cb of saftey with the 20 pick also.
Rather have Wood from Clemson but it seems like we're terrible at drafting d lineman
Awesome ❤
Hell no on faulk . Trade back and pick up more pics instead of drafting faulk
Sunny styles is A plus pick. Faulk is a C minus pick. I would much rather trade back with my 20th pick and pick up an extra pick then to use our 20th pick on Faulk
Hooray, Whoopi!!!
If picking, if can’t get cb, or safety, get the best left tackle left there at
20. Or best right tackle, then move guyton to either side. Then oline is set! Then go best available on defense rest of the way,except dline! Maybe if rb there!😊
Trade the 20th pick to Las Vegas for Crosby!
Rather take McCoy at 12 and Allen or hill at 20…..
Give me my EX BamaBoy Caleb Downs and in FA bring in Nakobe Dean at LB since Parker knows him so well plus piss 😭🦅😭off😂
FAULK Might not be as good as Parsons but might fill the same role since he is zn edge/ linebacker ironically picked wjth the pick we got from green bay
Avoin terral
Faulk would be so good in this scheme and Marcus Dixon would unlock his potential. I would love him at 20 but at 12 I’d be mad especially with Styles/Downs/Delane available
