Cowboys' Draft Focus: Rebuilding Defense

0:00On April 8th, the Dallas Cowboys head into the NFL Draft with picks at number 12 and number 20, laser focused on rebuilding their defense. After a brutal season, they traded away Micah Parsons right before opening day last year and it tanked their unit, leaving them dead last in past defense. Experts agree the secondary needs a full overhaul, so most mocks have them grabbing cornerback German McCoy from Tennessee at 12. The guys explosive with top tier man coverage skills, even coming off a torn ACL. He's got that CB1 potential to lock down NFC e-stars like AJ, Browne. Fans and scouts are buzzing because Dallas finally has firepower to pair with their offense for real complimentary ball. Adding McCoy could inject Instant Talon and pairing him with a safety like Dylan Theaneman from Oregon would erase backline mistakes from last year. Other projections mix it up a bit. Some say linebacker CJ Allen or Ed Rush or Mason Thomas at 20, but the vibe is clear

1:00double down on defense. Maybe another Tennessee corner. Jerry Jones won overthink this one. With the first round kicking off April 23rd, these moves could flip the Cowboys from pretenders to contenders if they nail the secondary, reload.
