Dillon Thieneman: Cowboys' Draft Steal?

0:00On April 14, NFL teams are in the final stretch before the 2026 draft kicks off April 23 and Oregon's safety, Dylan Tiniman. Is generating serious first round buzz? After transferring from Purdue, he dominated for the Ducks, locking down as a top prospect at the Combine. Analyst Daniel Jeremiah spotlighted the Dallas Cowboys as a sneaky fit during a recent radio spot. It boils down to Oregon defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi's history with Cowboys DB coach Derek Anzli. They overlapped at Alabama back in 20, 16 and 2017. Cowboys have a big hole in the secondary and picks at number 12 and number 20. Jeremiah sees Steniman sliding in there like Cooper Dejean, versatile enough to play anywhere thanks to new DC Christian Parker's eye for defensive backs. The enemy balled out with 96 tackles and two picks that sealed key wins, earning all Big Ten and all American nods. Team split on him as the top safety or third behind guys like Caleb Downs, but he's a lock for round one.
