does his mock drafts, he rarely includes trades. He tries to keep his NFL Draft projections pretty straightforward. In a new mock out Wednesday , though, Kiper included a couple of trades -- including a big one involving the Dallas Cowboys and Cleveland Browns .

As it stands, the Browns hold the No. 6 overall pick, as well as 24. The Cowboys enter the first round with picks 12 and 20.

Kiper sees a possibility where Dallas ships both of their first-rounders to Cleveland for picks 6 and 39. With the move up, he would then have the Cowboys drafting Ohio State superstar linebacker Sonny Styles. "Dallas and Cleveland each have two first-round picks coming into the draft, which gives those front offices some ability to maneuver," Kiper writes.
