Cowboys' Draft Focus: Defense, Defense, Defense

0:00On March 2nd, after this week's NFL Scouting Combine, Scouts are warning everyone not to overvalue Jimtests. If a player's game tape already highlights elite speed or average athleticism, those numbers should not drastically shift their draft stock, unless they totally flop. For the Dallas Cowboys, sitting at picks number 12 and number 20, mocked drafts from top analysts offer a solid preview of potential targets, the focus stays squarely on defense. Experts across the board see needs at cornerback, safety, edge rusher, and linebacker, with 14 total projections hitting just those four spots. Names like cornerback Jeremiah McCoy, from Tennessee, and linebacker Sonny Stiles, from Ohio State, keep popping up multiple times. Others include safety Dylan Thineman from Oregon, edge rusher TJ Parker from Clemson, and edge Keldrick Falk from Auburn. These mocks point to Dallas loading up on defensive playmakers early, setting the stage for an intriguing draft night as teams shuffle the board. From the board, from the board, from the board, from the board.
