Raiders' McCoy Draft Steal: Knee Risk, Big Upside

0:00It's April 25, I'm Cory with the story, and this is NFL News Today football news powered by AI. University of Tennessee, cornerback, Jermad McCoy, slid way down draft boards after a medical check, flagged potential knee issues, but the Raiders jumped in and traded up for the first pick in the fourth round. He was seen as a first round talent before that recheck hinted at another surgery down the line, possibly keeping him out for a big chunk of next. McCoy set out all of last season with a torn ACL in his right knee, and now teens worry about a bone pluck fix for cartilage damage that could mean. More time off in 2026. He sounded chill about it, saying his doctors cleared him, but he's down to do whatever the Raiders need for his long-term game. Raiders had a huge gap at corner and bet big on his upside. If that knee stays solid, this could end up being the draft's best value grab.
