Judge grants Oklahoma LB Heinecke extra year
Oklahoma linebacker Owen Heinecke granted an extra year of eligibility for 2026 after court ruling.
The Dallas Cowboys are expected to trade up with the Cleveland Browns in the 2026 NFL Draft, potentially securing two Day 1 starters. The Cowboys' first pick could be linebacker Sonny Styles from Ohio State at No. 6 overall.
Multiple insiders expect the Dallas Cowboys to trade up with the Cleveland Browns in Round 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft. What things could look like if they do, including a starting-caliber pick at No. 39.
A week away from the 2026 NFL Draft, it feels like trade up or bust for the Dallas Cowboys.
Rumors are heating up around a potential trade up with Cleveland Browns, who are slated to pick No. 6 overall. If they do, what will that look like? I fired up the A to Z Sportsâ draft simulator to game it out.
(TRADE: Cowboys get No. 6 overall and No. 39 overall, Browns get No. 12 overall, No. 20 overall and a 2027 third-round pick)
If the Cowboys move up in the draft, it makes sense to do so for Styles, who is one of the few blue-chip defenders in the class and who is a fix for the teamâs most pressing need. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said earlier in the year some rookies heâd feel comfortable with rocking the green dot.
Based on Stylesâ high football IQ, consistent tackling, and his elite change of direction, Iâm betting heâs one of them.
At No. 39 overall, Hood would be tremendous value for the Cowboys. Heâs a physical cornerback with a specialization in man coverage. That doesnât mean he canât play zone, where he displays a high football IQ.
For many, one of the best things about Hood is that he has a high floor, meaning he can make an impact as a starter early on. In this scenario, the Cowboys get a starter in the backend after securing one on the front seven at No. 6 overall.
The Cowboys would likely consider Hood at No. 20 overall should they stick there. At 39, heâs even better.
Kilgore comes with plenty of experience with him. He started 33 games in three years in college and finished his career with eight interceptions. At 6-foot-1 and with a 4.40-second 40 yard dash, he scored a 81.9 in our athletic composite score at
The Cowboys plan to trade up with the Cleveland Browns to secure key players in the 2026 NFL Draft.
The Cowboys are expected to select linebacker Sonny Styles from Ohio State with their first pick at No. 6 overall.

With experience in the slot and film that backs him up as a solid run defender, he could compete for a starting spot at nickel on Christian Parkerâs new scheme.
This mock draft shows why it would be smart business for the Cowboys to trade up with the Browns. Moving from No. 20 to No. 39 is far from the worst thing in the world. The talent theyâll find early in the second isnât much worse than what theyâll find at No. 20.
Meanwhile, the Cowboys get a true game-changing defender in Styles to finally do something about the linebacker position. Losing a third-round pick in 2027 hurts, but itâs the kind of risk you take if you believe youâre in a win-now position.
