"With no recent tape to go one, teams are having to rely on his 2024 tape. Based on that, he's still in contention to be the top CB drafted in April, however, that could change depending on what his medical checkup reveals. If he gets the thumbs up, he could be one of the top players the Cowboys target at 12. He's a potential starter as a rookie and would be a great fit in Christian Parker's scheme."
"He possesses first-round talent and could be in play for the Cowboys at either 12 or 20. But at 25 years old with a history of foot problems, questions have arisen as to whether he's worth getting selected so high, quite possibly falling out of the first round altogether. He will not only need to excel in the on-the-field drills and interviews, but also get a clean bill of health on his medicals that there will be no lingering issues with his feet moving forward."
The 2026 NFL Combine provides the Cowboys an opportunity to evaluate on-field drills, interviews, and medicals to refine their rookie draft board. Jermod McCoy missed the 2025 season after a season-ending 2024 knee injury, making medical results central to determining his viability as a potential rookie starter and top cornerback candidate at pick 12. Ahkeem Mesidor ranks among the top pass rushers in the class with first-round talent but carries foot injury concerns and is 25, raising durability and value questions that hinge on a clean medical evaluation and strong combine performance. The Cowboys currently hold the 12th overall pick and could leverage it if exploring a trade of George Pickens.
