Gregg Rosenthal · Apr 15, 2026

Rosenthal expects Ruben Bain to be drafted in the top 10-12 and believes he won't get past the Cowboys at No. 12, expects David Bailey to be taken early (hard to see him out of the top six) and to go before Bain, and pegs Kiante Scott as a late-second to third-round pick.

I would think Jerry Jones would take him.

    He might be a late second, he might be third. Who knows

    Not settled yet. This is graded once the season it describes has finished.

    Well twelve is the Dallas Cowboys... he's not gonna get past the Cowboys... I would think Jerry Jones would take him.
