12. Dallas Cowboys<\/p>\n
Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee<\/p>\n
Dallas gave up a league-worst 7.3 yards per dropback last season, and the secondary was gashed for a league-high 46 passing plays of 25 or more yards. I liked the Jalen Thompson signing at safety, and Cobie Durant will chip in at cornerback alongside DaRon Bland and Shavon Revel Jr., but the Cowboys are still looking for their No. 1 cornerback.<\/p>\n
McCoy doesn\u2019t come without questions; he tore an ACL in January 2025, sat out the season and then didn\u2019t work out at the combine. But he can flat-out play when he\u2019s on the field. McCoy had four interceptions in 2024. If Dallas likes what it sees at his March 31 pro day, this could be a smart pick.<\/p>\n
20. Dallas Cowboys (from GB)<\/p>\n
CJ Allen, LB, Georgia<\/p>\n
It\u2019d be wise for the Cowboys to double-dip on defense (Jermod McCoy at No. 12). They gave up 6.1 yards per play in 2025, 31st in the NFL and third worst for any team in any of the past five seasons. Allen can play all three downs, as he can drop in coverage, run down ball carriers and even blitz. He had 97 tackles last season for the Bulldogs, showcasing tremendous read-and-react skills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"12.
