SB Nation NFL mock draft: Cowboys hope No. 12 choose can fill void left by Jourdan Lewis’ departure

All of the Cowboys have seemingly executed this offseason is signal former first-round draft picks in free company and make the information for Jerry Jones saying one thing disrespectful about ta outstanding NFL agent or what have you ever.

The primary half is an fascinating technique. The latter half I’m not so positive of.

Both approach, the Cowboys proceed to stay fascinating and amongst the headlines. The actual query is, nevertheless: Will they have the ability to stand out with their first-round draft choose?

Let’s go forward and discover out!

With the twelfth choose within the SB Nation Neighborhood Mock Draft, Dave Halprin of Running a blog The Boys chosen Michigan cornerback Will Johnson to pair with present standout Trevon Diggs.

12.) Dallas Cowboys: Will Johnson, CB, Michigan

Halprin: With Trevon Diggs’ harm timeline unclear, and the lack of Jourdan Lewis in free company, the Cowboys have one wholesome CB they’ll depend on proper now. Plus, they could not have the ability to afford DaRon Bland subsequent 12 months in free company. Will Johnson is a top-tier zone CB, an ideal match for Matt Eberflus’ protection.

Evaluation: I can’t say it a lot better than Halprin above. The Cowboys are in a predicament with their cornerback room and getting the possibility at any cornerback within the draft right here at No. 12 is simply too good to cross up. As an alternative of choosing our second-ranked cornerback in Texas’ Jahdae Barron, Dallas as an alternative goes with Johnson who was a five-star recruit in highschool and a Third-Workforce AP All-American this previous season.

Johnson has nice measurement (6’2, 194) to pair with elite instincts and an aggressive play model that solely comes by understanding you’re among the best gamers each time you step on the sector.

High 5 remaining gamers:

  1. Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas
  2. Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
  3. Malaki Starks, S Georgia
  4. James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee
  5. Mike Inexperienced, EDGE, Marshall

The Cowboys took the primary cornerback off the board, however it was not our prime nook in Texas’ Jahdae Barron. Behind Travis Hunter this cornerback class will get a bit murky by way of most well-liked rankings, however both, approach Dallas is getting a very good participant in Johnson. Subsequent up are the Dolphins who’ve just a few extra wants than you’d need for a group hoping to rebound and compete within the AFC in 2025.

Are you able to think about tight finish Tyler Warren enjoying alongside Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle? Sounds fairly good to me. Keep tuned to see if Miami chooses to proceed leaning into the offense or in the event that they determined to strengthen the opposite aspect of the ball!
