NFL Draft rumors on Cowboys trade scenarios, Steelers intel, Jeremiyah Love’s ‘floor,’ and more

We are heading into the home stretch ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft.

And the rumors are heating up.

In today’s installment of the rumor roundup we are looking at the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Dallas Cowboys, Jeremiyah Love, Carnell Tate, and much more.

NFL Draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah held his annual pre-draft conference all on Tuesday, and offered several tasty nuggets for assembled media members.

One of those is that the Pittsburgh Steelers might be thinking wide receiver first round, even after adding Michael Pittman Jr. this offseason to pair with DK Metcalf. A potential target for Pittsburgh in the first round?

“That would give them three giants out there,” Jeremiah said.
If the Steelers forgo a WR in the first round, Alabama’s. Germie Bernard, Georgia State’s Ted Hurst, and Mississippi’s De’Zhaun Stribling are other options for the Steelers.

Washington the floor for Jeremiyah Love?

The Tennessee Titans have become a popular landing spot for Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love in mock drafts.

But if Love somehow slides past Tennessee at No. 4, do not expect him to slide too far.

Speaking on Get Up Tuesday morning, NFL Insider Adam Schefter identified the Washington Commanders at No. 7 as the likely floor for Love in the first round:

“Feels like the floor, the floor is #7 and the Washington Commanders … Washington makes the most sense. Washington is sitting there waiting to see whether one of these other teams makes the plunge on a RB.”

The complicating factor might be the fact that Washington enters the 2026 NFL Draft with just six selections, and following their pick at No. 7 they are not on the clock again until pick No. 71, the seventh pick of the third round. The Commanders are one of the teams discussed as a trade-down candidate, to add additional draft capital between those two selections.

But if Love is available, additional draft capital might have to wait.

Has Carnell Tate sealed his Browns fate?

In mock drafts, sending Carnell Tate to the Cleveland Browns at No. 6 is a somewhat popular selection. The Browns are expected to come away with both a wide receiver and an offensive tackle in the first round, and keeping an Ohio State product in Ohio certainly makes a lot of sense.

But has Tate already sealed a non-Browns fate?

That would get the Cowboys ahead of one of their long-time rivals, the Washington Commanders at No. 7.

But is Jerry Jones trying to get ahead of a different NFC East rival, the New York Giants at No. 5?

NFL Insider Jordan Schultz — who has already made the case that several trades could happen when the draft begins — wrote on Tuesday that there is a growing belief that the Cowboys are moving up to target a player the Giants also have their eyes on:

As for who that might be?

The Giants have been linked with Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles at No. 5, even since his command performance at the Combine.

But the Cowboys also have a pressing need at linebacker …

Ty Simpson remains a flash point as the 2026 NFL Draft approaches. This discussion kicked into gear when ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky made the case that the Alabama quarterback was QB1 in his eyes, and has continued to simmer in the days leading up to the draft.

We head back to Pittsburgh for our next snippet.

Could the Steelers address their quarterback room in this draft, perhaps with a trade back into the first round?

Pittsburgh enters the 2026 NFL Draft with 12 selections, the most of any team. And that trove of draft capital could make the Steelers one of the teams willing to trade back into the first round … perhaps for Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson.

“I’ve heard they do like Ty Simpson,” Ryan Wilson of CBS Sports said to Andrew Fillipponi and Chris Mueller on 93.7 The Fan on Tuesday. “I would not be surprised if they package some of those Day 2 picks to get back up into the first round to get Ty (Simpson) at the bottom of round one if he’s still there.”

Todd McShay predicts several trades

Todd McShay’s latest mock draft is filled with several surprises.

The NFL analyst has the New Orleans Saints moving up in a trade with the Arizona Cardinals to get to No. 3 for Arvell Reese, the Cowboys coming up to No. 6 in a deal with the Cleveland Browns for Sonny Styles, the Jets coming up to No. 7 from No. 16 in a deal with the Washington Commanders for Carnell Tate, the Chicago Bears moving up a few spots in a deal with the Los Angeles Chargers to draft safety Dillon Thieneman at No. 22 and the Cardinals moving back into the first round to select Ty Simpson at No. 30.

Bayern Munich showed ​mental strength and absolute belief to come from behind ⁠thrice before beating Real Madrid 4-3 to reach the Champions League semifinals on Wednesday, coach Vincent Kompany said.

Kompany, who was booked during the game ‌and will miss Bayern’s last-four first leg against holder Paris Saint-Germain, said the Bavarians, who are chasing ‌a treble of titles, had to dig deep to overcome ‌record ⁠15-time European champions Real 6-4 on aggregate in a ⁠classic tie.

“The boys were mentally strong today to recover from setbacks,” Kompany said. “The fans helped us as well. We stayed calm and always felt that our ​moment would come. The boys ‌deserved this win.

“What remains for me is the total togetherness that we showed. That’s what we take from the game. We showed absolute belief and will to fight our way ‌back into the game.”

“During the game our team has a ​lot of talent and experience to deal with these situations. After 35 seconds in this game to ⁠concede a goal, you then have to press the reset button. We stayed focused on our game,” Kompany said.

Host Bayern trailed 0-1 after 35 seconds when Arda Guler took advantage of a bad mistake by goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, and Real twice more took the lead to go into half-time 3-2 ahead.

Bayern, 2-1 winner of the first leg in Spain, kept its composure, however, and struck twice in the dying stages through Luis Diaz and Michael Olise ‌to snatch victory and advance to the last four.

The six-time European champion can ​potentially clinch the Bundesliga title this weekend, with a 12-point advantage and five matches remaining, before facing Bayer ⁠Leverkusen in the German Cup semifinals.

“It was a very emotional game,” ⁠said Kompany, in his second season at Bayern. “We had a lot of possession and always had the feeling we ‌could score. But Real Madrid remain Real Madrid. They have very quick players and are always a threat.”

Kompany became the ​11th coach to lead Bayern to the European Cup semifinals.

Deadspin | Rory McIlroy’s Masters repeat scores CBS’ best ratings in 11 years Apr 12, 2026; Augusta, Georgia, USA; Rory McIlroy holds the Masters championship trophy during the green jacket ceremony after the final round of the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club. Mandatory Credit: Kyle Terada-Imagn Images Rory McIlroy’s sixth career major title — his second consecutive win at the Masters — earned a major ratings boost for CBS in the final round on Sunday afternoon. The fourth round averaged nearly 14 million viewers — 13,995,000, more precisely — the most to watch CBS for the final day from Augusta National since the network averaged 14 million in 2015 when Jordan Spieth captured his first major, Front Office Sports reported. Sunday’s final round was an 8% increase from April 2025 (12.71 million), when McIlroy completed a career grand slam. The Northern Irishman’s dramatic, emotional finish last year came in a playoff against England’s Justin Rose. The 2026 edition also came with tension, as McIlroy shared the top of the leaderboard after the first round, surged to a record six-shot lead after 36 holes but saw that erased as he and Cameron Young were tied for the lead after three rounds. Viewership numbers reflected that, as the third round averaged 8.1 million on CBS, a 14% increase from 7.6 million in 2025 and the largest number since Tiger Woods played the third round en route to his 2019 victory. As McIlroy lost and regained his lead on Sunday, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler charged from four strokes behind and finished one shot back of McIlroy, who joined Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo and Woods as the only consecutive champions in Masters history. The ratings followed on Sunday, peaking at slightly more than 20 million viewers — the largest at the Masters since 2013, when Adam Scott earned the green jacket and Woods tied for fourth. The peak viewership in 2025 was 19.54 million. The 2026 Masters was the first since Nielsen began compiling ratings figures exclusively through its Big Data+ Panel methodology. The expanded system, designed for a more holistic and accurate view of audience behaviors, generally results in higher overall ratings for live sports broadcasts compared to the old method, according to Front Office Sports. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Rory #McIlroys #Masters #repeat #scores #CBS #ratings #yearsApr 12, 2026; Augusta, Georgia, USA; Rory McIlroy holds the Masters championship trophy during the green jacket ceremony after the final round of the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club.
