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


All of the Cowboys have seemingly carried out 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 distinguished 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, nonetheless: Will they be capable of stand out with their first-round draft decide?

Let’s go forward and discover out!

With the twelfth decide within the SB Nation Group 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 rely on proper now. Plus, they might not be capable of 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 significantly 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 just too good to move up. As an alternative of choosing our second-ranked cornerback in Texas’ Jahdae Barron, Dallas as a substitute goes with Johnson who was a five-star recruit in highschool and a Third-Group AP All-American this previous season.

Johnson has nice measurement (6’2, 194) to pair with elite instincts and an aggressive play fashion that solely comes by realizing you’re the most effective gamers each time you step on the sphere.

Prime 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, but it surely was not our high nook in Texas’ Jahdae Barron. Behind Travis Hunter this cornerback class will get a bit murky when it comes to most well-liked rankings, however both, approach Dallas is getting a extremely good participant in Johnson. Subsequent up are the Dolphins who’ve a couple of extra wants than you’d need for a staff 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 bolster the opposite facet of the ball!

What grade do you give the decide of Johnson to the Cowboys?
