Cowboys Eyeing McCoy for Draft

0:00On April 7, Dallas Cowboys are eyeing Tennessee cornerback Jermad McCoy as their top target with the 12th overall pick in the 2026. NFL draft. They got two first round selections and planned to beef up that defense big time. ESPN even compares McCoy straight to Super Bowl champ and former defensive player of the year, Stefan Gilmore, who balled out for 13 seasons.

The secondary has been begging for help after Dallas owned the league's worst past defense last season. Now projections got McCoy landing right where Dallas needs him, potentially turning that backfield around for 2026. With the draft hitting Pittsburgh from April 23rd through
