Mocks Point Sonny Styles to Cowboys at No. 12 as Markets Still Favor Giants at No. 5

The divide carries real money stakes under the NFL's slotted rookie pay scale.

Overview

  • PFF's latest mock sends Styles to the Cowboys at No. 12, with its simulator showing fans make that pairing 36.1% of the time.
  • Prediction markets and sportsbooks still lean Giants at No. 5 for Styles, with Kalshi traders around 30% and bet365 listing +180 odds.
  • A slide from No. 5 to No. 12 would cut his slotted four-year deal from about $45.6 million to $25 million under the rookie pay scale.
  • His case as a top prospect is backed by elite testing, including a 4.46-second 40 and a 43.5-inch vertical that leads his position in more than two decades.
  • ESPN's Jordan Reid says John Harbaugh's Giants could take an off-ball linebacker at No. 5, though some analysts question using that pick on the position.
