Cowboys Mock Draft: 2 Top DBs in 1st Round

0:00On March 31st, the Dallas Cowboys are eyeing a major upgrade to their secondary in this latest mock draft for the 2026 NFL Draft. Bleacher Report has them grabbing two top defensive backs in the first round. Cornerback Jermad McCoy from Tennessee at Pick No. 12 and Safety. Dylan Thiniman from Oregon at Pick No. 20, which they get from the Packers. They brought in new defensive coordinator, Christian Parker from the Eagles, to fix last season's league, worst past defense. Free agency added some depth, but with two first round picks, this mock shows them doubling down on the back end for real impact. Fans and scouts love this duo because McCoy brings explosive man coverage and physicality when healthy, despite that torn ACL keeping him out last. Year. He had four picks in first team all SEC honors in 2024. Thiniman, who transfer from Purdue, has eight interceptions total and the range to Rome deep, filling a gap since their last star safety.

1:01McCoy's pro day will be huge to prove he's back, while Thiniman's stock keeps rising as a perfect eraser in the secondary. The draft hits Pittsburgh from April 23rd through 25th next year. This could turn the Cowboys defense complimentary to that stacked offense, setting them up for a run if these picks pan out.
