About this episode

With picks at twelfth and twentieth overall, the Cowboys are focusing heavily on defense, as free agency approaches in just a week.

However, Tennessee cornerback Jermod McCoy, a key need for the Cowboys, skipped testing to focus on rehab, potentially pushing him out of early selection range. Meanwhile, Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman has emerged as a hot commodity with his impressive testing results, which could lead to him being selected as high as the twelfth pick. As the draft picture becomes clearer, these developments keep Cowboys strategists on their toes heading into next weeks draft frenzy.
