Cowboys Draft Jermod McCoy for Defensive Revival

Dallas Cowboys 2025 Season: A Focus on Defensive Rebuild

The Dallas Cowboys concluded the 2025 season with a 7-9-1 record under new head coach Brian Schottenheimer. Despite their offense ranking among the leagues best, their defense was a significant weakness, ranking near the bottom in key stats. The defense allowed 377 yards per game overall, ranking 30th, and struggled even more against the pass, giving up the most passing yards and points in the NFL. Experts like Athlon Sports Luke Easterling predict a defensive overhaul in the draft, with the Cowboys potentially picking Tennessee cornerback Jermod McCoy. Despite sitting out the entire season due to an ACL injury, McCoy has declared himself fully healthy and ready to fill the gap left by Trevon Diggs departure, potentially sparking a quick defensive rebuild.
