Dallas Cowboys News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — McCoy's Pro Day, Cowboys' Draft Plan. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
On April 6th, Tennessee Cornerback, Jermad McCoy, just crushed his pro-day, running a 4.38 in the 40, hitting a 38-inch, vertical, and a 10-foot-7 broadjump. This puts him squarely on the Dallas Cowboys radar at pick 12, easing worries about his injury layoff since December of last year. His athleticism proves he's no reach now, keeping the Cowboys' draft plan intact. Jerry Jones lit up at the NFL annual league meeting, hyping the new defense under coordinator Christian Parker. They're blending a 3-4 scheme for better run support and flexibility, drawing from old-school concepts like Bill Parcell's used. Jones stressed the value of that rare nine-technique edge guy who pressures and covers flats. Fans and analysts are buzzing, with Parker already turning Jones into a defensive savant. This shift aims to rebuild the front after missing playoffs, two years running, focusing on win-now mode. McCoy's workout kills any post-Indry decline fears, boosting excitement for revamped
line. Mod drafts had the Cowboys trading for Raiders' Edge Max Crosby, plus nagging two more defensive linemen and a top corner in seven rounds. They'd rotate him with talents like Donovan as they were Waku and Rashon Gary, layering depth around recent acquisitions, Quinn and Williams and Kenny Clark. Looking ahead offensive weapons like Yukon's Skyler Bell or North Dakota State's Bryce Lance could headline 2026 White Receiver Targets. Bell's versatile, with over a thousand yards last season, while Lance dominates as an ex-receiver. Will Dallas trade up in Round 1 to grab a stud? That's the daily debate, keeping Cowboys nation fired up.
