Dallas Cowboys podcast, part of the Locked on podcast network. Your team every day. Welcome back to the Locked on Cowboys podcast, part of the Locked on podcast network. Your team every day. We'd like to thank you for making us the number one sports podcast network. I am your host, Marcus Moser. He is Landon McCool. And on today's show, we're going to take a look at three of the top cornerback prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft. We know the Cowboys have a big need at cornerback. They could use an outside cornerback. They could use a slot corner. All options are on the table. And I want to start with Mansoor Delaine, who I think is gaining some traction over the last couple weeks as maybe cornerback one in this class. You studied this tape from lsu. What did you think?
- [02:18]
Landon McCool
Yeah, interesting guy, right? As a three star recruit coming out of high school. He's from Silver Spring, Maryland. He was ranked 604, 50th nationally in 2022. And that's the kind of interesting thing that you're starting to see more with, with the, the kind of nil area is you're seeing these guys leveling up, you know, into the NFL. And it's, it's not as much a case where you're seeing them necessarily coming from the small school, but they're, they're starting out one place and they're going to another. And listen, he started out at Virginia Tech. It's not like that's a necessarily a small school, but you know, you know, went from Virginia Tech after three seasons, went to lsu. You know, the combine will confirm. But he appears to me be. And maybe you've got the numbers. In fact, I'm sure you do. I see him. He's under 6ft and 100. Under 190 pounds probably. Right? Is that what we think?
- [03:05]
Marcus Moser
Is that what, what, what would your guess be? I've got the official numbers here.
- [03:09]
Landon McCool
My guess would be like 5 11, 1 78.
- [03:16]
Marcus Moser
Okay, so 511 1, 191. He actually put on a lot of weight.
- [03:20]
Landon McCool
Okay.
- [03:22]
Marcus Moser
30 and a quarter inch arms, 74 inch wingspan. So you're talking about a undersized corner.
- [03:30]
Landon McCool
Yeah, look, I mean, he was only targeted 34 times and he only allowed 13 catches. And, and I think it's because people just didn't throw his way. And, and you know, he has a fluidity and a change of direction that and reactive athleticism. That is, that is very, very good. He likes to play with his eyes, you know, an off coverage where he can react and his awareness can be leveraged. He is mostly an outside guy from what I saw, but he can play some in the slot too, or at least I saw him play in the slot. He flips his hips and runs in a flash when he sees it. His trust in his quickness allows him for to be patient at the line of scrimmage. When he plays press coverage, he waits for the running receiver to commit before flipping his hips. I mean, when you're undersized like this, you kind of have to have really good technique. And he certainly checks that box, especially in kind of press coverage. He can be pushed around by bigger receivers off the line. He's not tall or long enough to consistently challenge the receiver when the ball is above his head. And you know, like his height does show up on tape in a, in a derogatory way. Some. Yeah, so. So there are some concerns about him winning the ball while in his air. In the air. He is more than. Despite being undersized, he is more than physical enough as a tackle tackler. He triggers quickly downhill when the throw is underneath, and he takes on blockers with no hesitation. So he plays with a level of physicality that you need on the edge. And he has the mentality to be a physical player, so that part of it isn't so bad. And considering the fact that he's only missed like one Game in three years because of a core muscle injury and not like a bunch of wear and tear would seem to indicate that he is a physical player. But his body can seem seemingly handle it. He's, oh, he finds the ball extremely quickly in the air. You'll see him coming off of his receiver and running towards the ball right after the QB throws towards somebody else. Like he's a very smart player. He's always sneaky, sneaking looks back at the quarterback. He's always getting a tip on what's happening. He's always pointing, he's always talking mid snap. He's a big communicator. He's scrappy. For a player whose game is based on finesse. Like he is clearly a technique based corner. But he has a combination of that plus being a really scrappy, physical player, which I think is why we're talking about him as a first round pick. He does have some flaws, but I think the fact that he is a good athlete with, you know, good technique and has a physical mentality that that is the right kind of collection of things to be a good corner. He was a former high school wrestler. Last thing, where does he win? He's a smart, instinctual, reactive cover man. Unanswered questions. How much of a ceiling does his athleticism create?
- [06:25]
Marcus Moser
There are players when you watch tape that you kind of giggle when you laugh when you watch it because they just make so many fun plays. And that's him for me. Like I, I loved watching Delane's tape. He's not big. This is typically a guy that, I mean you, you don't draft short armed small cornerbacks who are going to run like in the mid four fours, inside the top 12. But this guy is so good that I don't care. Like 40 career starts, zero penalties, zero touchdowns allowed during the 2025 season. You mentioned that he's a technical base cornerback, but the top thing on my notes, I could go through all of them but the number one thing is he's just a dog. Like that's, that's the best compliment that I can give any defensive player is this is a guy that is so he, he's aggressive. There's a clearly an energy and emotion to him that's really good and I think it's infectious. This is the type of defensive back that I think the Cowboys have been missing the last couple years. The guy that's going to throw his weight around, that's going to tackle, that's going to energize his teammates. He's got A real chip on his shoulder. Not like Anthony Brown who had a potato chip on his shoulder. That was a real chip on his shoulder. I love this player.
- [07:42]
Landon McCool
This, this is so funny you mentioned all that last part because to me, the guy who I could not get out of my head watching him and I think he's a better player than, than this. But I think everyone knows what, what I'm talking about when I say Orlando Scandrell. Right. Like he's scrappy, he's also a technician, but he is not the dude that you want to get into a fight with in an alley either. Right. Like he truly has a chip on his shoulder. So yeah, I agreed. I think early watching him, I felt like he has very defined weaknesses and maybe that's not a bad thing because I think every player has weakness. Right. And if you know what his limitation is, that probably is better than, you know, having to discover that as he becomes an NFL player. I think that the, the rest of his game all adds up really, really well. And you just don't see this kind of combination of scrappy, technique based guys that, that have, that still also have the requisite athleticism to be an NFL player. Yeah.
- [08:49]
Marcus Moser
And he's going to get beat. I think, you know, teams that run like a lot of over routes, I could get him a little bit because he's not like a high end athlete. So I, I do think there are some weaknesses there, but I just love how he challenges everything. Like it's. Even the underneath completions are going to be tough for opposing receivers and that's what you want as a cornerback that's going to make the opposing receivers day a living hell. And I think that's what he can do. I think that's what he can do at a really, really high level. Maybe he plays a little bit the slot in the NFL. He only had about 100 career snaps. I think he's an outside guy and you pair him and Ron Bland together and I feel really good about that pairing.
- [09:30]
Landon McCool
Yeah, I think he's scrappy. I think, you know, like we said, like to me the part of it that, that reminds, that reminds me of Scandre is this. You just don't see that blend of attitude and, and technique prowess. Right. And, and Skandrick, you, you never really understood why he fell the way he did because he ended up being so valuable for the Cowboys. And, and I don't think, you know, like I said, we think Delaney's more of an outside guy potentially than an inside. I think he will play inside But I think he's more of an outside guy. But I just think it's that blend of like you said, he has the athleticism. He's, he's going to run sub 4 5. Maybe it's not 43 but you know, he's, it's more than fast enough. He's maybe not quite the size that you want, but the attitude, everything between the years is perfect and, and that's what that plus having the, just the requisite, just clearing the bar athletically, I think it's enough to kind of get him into the first round and potentially I think being the first quarter taken.
- [10:28]
Marcus Moser
Two more comps for you. The high end here is like Trent McDuffie from Kansas City. Kind of that inside, outside corner, undersized, but it's going to fight his tail off. And then coincidentally, another Washington cornerback, Byron Murphy, who is played for the Cardinals in Minnesota, same thing. It's one of these guys that just has really good feet. Not a top tier athlete. I think Murphy went at the top of round two. Delane's a better prospect than that, but I think you're getting that type of cornerback and honestly this is what Dallas has needed for a while. If they drafted him at 12, I would would be thrilled with it. What about you?
- [11:04]
Landon McCool
Yeah, I mean to me I think the top end is, is Witherspoon. Right. From, from, from the Seahawks. So yeah, I, I think that's the kind of player that you could potentially, you know, hope that he could be someday. Yeah. And I, I certainly would not be upset at all if he's the pick at 12.
- [11:21]
Marcus Moser
All right, let's talk about another cornerback, Avion Terrell from Clemson, who I think might be one of the best values in Round one. We'll get to that next. This episode is brought to you by indeed.

All right, Landon, let's talk about Avion Terrell from Clemson. What did you see on the tape?
- [13:42]
Landon McCool
Yeah, four star. This is a four star guy. He was the 244th ranked of the 20 player in the 2023 recruiting class injury history. He had a quad injury in November. He only missed one game and then there was apparently a concussion and ank that he had in his 2024 camp. So not a ton of injury. Another guy that played a lot of games without too many injuries and another guy that's also an undersized corner. He's under 6ft. I would say under 100. I'm gonna say give me the numbers Marcus, but I'm gonna say that they that they're under what you gave me for delaying 5112.
- [14:15]
Marcus Moser
So 5 foot 11 shorter.
- [14:17]
Landon McCool
Okay.
- [14:17]
Marcus Moser
180 pounds during spring workouts. 30 and a quarter inch arms. So you're about 10 pounds lighter than Delaine and the arm length is similar.
- [14:26]
Landon McCool
Okay. So yeah, just a little bit slightly. Slightly under Delane. So mostly an outside guy also like Delane, but played some inside as well. From what I saw. My first experience watching him is the LSU tape. Yeah. And I watched. That was one of the few. Right. I watched the first four and a half minutes of game tape of LSU running the ball away from him, throwing the ball away from it. And it was getting a little bit frustrating. And then suddenly they, the first throw that they did that was even on the same side of the field as him. He destroys a tight end and forces a fumble and then Clemson recovers, right? And he also has that same scrappy mentality. He's a loud talker as opposed to Delane, who's spending a lot of time talking to his teammates. This guy's talking to the other team all the time. And he's got incredible quickness as well. He's also a great mirror athlete. His acceleration when he breaks on the ball, his ability to click and close is incredible. Like it really. There has been so many times when you saw him on top of defenders in like either four or three where he's just, he's, he's gliding up the sideline and then as soon as he sees it, he's pulling the trigger and he's getting downhill and he's. And he's. And he's broken up the pass, right? And it's in. The quarterback is trying to get just a simple out route to an under to underneath throw and, and, and, and he's able to get down there and make the play on it. So just really incredible in that, in that, in that regard. Experience depressed. He could be a little bit impatient with his feet at times, but, but quick enough in college to cover it up. We'll see if that translates in the NFL. Cleanly opens up his hips to glide up field when in cover three. Lack of size. Shows up a little bit at the top of routes where he's susceptible to shove offs. Saw two deep crosses where he was tight with the receiver until they got a shove off and then they, they like at, at the point of the cross, they shoved off, shoved him off and then created a huge bubble as they made their way across the field. They were wide open, always looking to rip the ball out. It felt like the first five times I saw him tackle somebody, he was trying to tackle the ball specifically, and he almost got the ball out.
- [16:42]
Marcus Moser
Eight, eight force fumbles in the last two years.
- [16:44]
Landon McCool
It's certainly you could tell that he works at it a lot. And, and in regard that, in that regard, he's a very willing participant in the run defense. Like that is certainly something that he is not going to shy away from. He has great technique, he's tough, he's a good leader, he's willing. But there are just moments where he just isn't big enough. And those moments are usually pretty key moments. It felt like, like Specifically in that LSU game when he, you know, he made a big play obviously earlier, but he also gave up a touchdown where the guy is able to, you know, subtly push off at the top of his route in the end zone and catch a touchdown. And there was just a couple other times where it just felt like, you know, maybe there was opportunities where maybe he's going to get an offensive pass interference call. But it just, it's not something that gets called a lot and it certainly isn't going to get called more in the NFL. And, and there's just times when he's being pushed around a little bit. So it's a little bit like Delaine, I guess, except to me it's even more pronounced. I think Delane struggles with it a little bit. There's definitely times when he's getting pushed around. It feels like at the top of these routes, where does he win? He's a scrappy, physical and very versatile corner. I think he could do a little all of it for you. I mean, play inside and outside probably equally well. Unanswered questions. Can he minimize the impact of a clear weakness to become a truly well rounded corner? Is he destined to play inside only or would he be better at nickel anyways? Like is. Is he. Is his game better translated to playing the nickel versus the outside? I don't think he's going to be limited to playing the inside.
- [18:23]
Marcus Moser
You know what, he might be a.
- [18:24]
Landon McCool
Better nickel guy, but it reminds me.
- [18:26]
Marcus Moser
Of when Asante Samuel Jr. Came out of Florida State.
- [18:30]
Landon McCool
Yeah.
- [18:30]
Marcus Moser
And everybody wanted him to play in the slot because he had, I think was sub 30 inch arms and he was under 190 pounds and we just assumed that he was going to play there. He never did. He had a really, he's had a really nice career as an outside corner. He's always going to be small, but he's going to stick to whatever receivers that you, you put him to. Is he going to get bullied at the line of scrimmage and is he going to lose at the catch point every now and then? Yeah. But you're also going to have to be throwing into contested situations all the time because he's going to be right there. I, to me he's. He's not a guy that I think the Cowboys are going to draft at 12 and honestly they might not draft him at 20 because they love these long and athletic cornerbacks and maybe he doesn't check those boxes, but if you told me he was to pick at 20 for Dallas, I would be thrilled. I, I really like him.
- [19:18]
Landon McCool
Yeah, I, I like him. I, I think that I wouldn't be upset with him at 20 and either again, like, it's not just like Delane. I guess it's not so terrible to have a kind of pretty clear weakness. My concern more than Delane is that is this going to be something that, that like is, is reoccurring a lot and it's going to be a problem. I mean, again, not enough that I wouldn't take him in the first round. I, I still, this is a first round player. I mean the, the pros greatly outweigh the cons with this guy. He's got the, the prowess. You can get him in the NFL. I mean, that's the thing. It's like, it's easy to say you could get him in NFL locker room, but he was at Clemson. It's not like he was, you know, at the little sisters of the poor university. Like, it's, it's, it's, he was, he.
- [19:57]
Marcus Moser
Was working out or anything like that. Right?
- [20:00]
Landon McCool
Hey buddy, watch it there, okay? Yeah, no, I, I think he's a good player. I just, you know, I worry about, you know, that specific weakness and I, and again, I'm not suggesting that he should be limited to be a nickel guy because he's short. I just wonder if his game doesn't translate to being a nickel, maybe better than being an outside guy.
- [20:19]
Marcus Moser
Maybe. I, I just think he is, he's not. Again, he's much like Delaney. He's not afraid to throw his body around there. He's got a knack for creating fumbles. I saw him, I saw Clemson use him as a blitzer a lot as well. And we saw the super bowl, like, if you have these corners that are really good at blitzing, man, that can be such an asset to have. And you're not drafting a corner in round one because of their ability to blitz. But it's not a little, it's not a bad tool to have.
- [20:45]
Landon McCool
No, and that's, that's why all those things are why I think he would be a good nickel. Right, because you give him a little bit closer to the targets by, by blitzing him from the nickel. And you're right, you know, nickel sack artist is not a thing. But, but having a versatile corner who could do a lot of different things, including including blitzing and including be a key part of the run game, I think that's, that has value to it that he could provide.
- [21:09]
Marcus Moser
All right, let's talk about another corner, Brandon C. Say from South Carolina, who is way bigger and more athletic than both of these guys. Could he be an option for the Cowboys in round one? We'll get to that next. This episode is brought to you by FanDuel.

Marcus Moser
Welcome back to the Locked on Cowboys podcast. We'd like to thank you for making us your first listen of the day. Lana, let's wrap up here with Brandon C. Say let me make sure I get the name right from South Carolina. He's actually the the youngest of these three cornerbacks. The size here, just under 6 foot, 190 pounds, 32 inch arms which checks the box of what the Cowboys want going to run in the four fours. What did you see from his tape?
- [23:16]
Landon McCool
Well, first of all, I'd like to address the fact that I didn't see very much from his tape because he only averaged around 42 snaps a game. Did you notice this too? Because it feels like when I was watching him I kept on going where's 15? Why is we're in the with the third down in in the red zone. Where's 15?
- [23:37]
Marcus Moser
And he has less than a thousand career snaps in college.
- [23:40]
Landon McCool
He does, he does. And, and, and I and just to give context because I went and checked Delane and Terrell. Both are averaging around 62 snaps a game. So that's, you know, he's doing basically two thirds of the amount of snaps which I didn't really get a chance to go into a deep dive to see if there was something there there. But I mean it doesn't, it's, it's interesting. It certainly is odd for a guy that is, you know, a high end kind of cornerback prospect. So. Something to mention there just something there because I mean, I don't know if that was a rotational thing or not, but it was interesting. So anyways, kind of like you mentioned, he has solid height, decent build, very nice length, the 32 inch arms that, that, that checks, right? You see that? A bit thin legged, you know, but very well developed in the torso. He's a pressed man. Star. I think he's going to be very. He has got very good foot speed. He flips his hips and runs hip to hip with the receiver with ease. He's extremely sudden. He's another guy that can click and close really fast and gets downhill and breaks up passes. When you just feel like, you know, he's baiting the quarterback to throw the ball to the out, be careful thinking that you could beat him with the quick out. When, yeah, when his eye, when he has eyes on you and off coverage, mostly a silo corner, right? Like when his back isn't to the QB, it's to this. When his butt isn't to the CB, QB, it's to the sideline, right? Lots of COVID 1, lots of COVID 3. Very feisty when he's impressed though. Keeps his hands on you throughout the route. Not to the point of, of, of a penalty, but he's, he's, he's gonna let you know that he's covering you there. He's, he's not, you know, you're not going to be surprised to find him there. We talked about that. Really struggled to find enough snaps for him in three games like, which is wild, right? And I ended up having to do I think four or five to kind of get enough of a picture because honestly it just felt like there were large portions of this game at key moments that he wasn't on the field. And I'm not really sure why because it's not like South Carolina was necessarily a fantastic team that, that be could, could afford to have him off.
- [25:39]
Marcus Moser
Well, I think, I think part of the problem is, is he regressed as the season went on and I wonder if they were just limiting the snaps because he was much better in the first half of the season than he was in games. Like LSU down the stretch.
- [25:52]
Landon McCool
Yeah. You know, he never played, I think more than like 60 or maybe it was like 70 snaps a game or something like that. So, yeah, it's, it's interesting. So he's very sticky. Very sticky, but can struggle at the top. All these guys, I saw, they all struggled at the top of the routes. Right. And this guy, he has the size, I think, more than the other two to kind of really hone in and correct that a little bit further. Where does he win? He's a boundary cornerback in a silo system. I think if he's going to be asked to kind of do cover guys across the field, it may just be a little bit foreign to him just because it didn't feel like he was doing a lot of that. Unanswered questions. Why was he, why was he substituting so frequently? Is his agility good enough to consistently cover NFL wide receivers across the field? That's the one area of his game I felt like, you know, in a phone booth as a change of direction player. It's not as good as, as when he's side. Saddling up the sideline.
- [26:51]
Marcus Moser
And I, I want to give him credit because I, I saw him put in the effort, like in the run game, trying to make tackles.
- [26:57]
Landon McCool
Yeah.
- [26:57]
Marcus Moser
I just think he's kind of a mediocre tackler. And I actually, I mean, you talked about, like, he's just not particularly strong and physical. That's frustrating because he's so much bigger and more imposing than the other two players.
- [27:10]
Landon McCool
Like, that frustrate me. Right. Like, they're, when they're big and they don't play physical. It's like.
- [27:14]
Marcus Moser
So I, I struggle with him because he's only got two interceptions. You're really worried about the play strength. I think he's somebody, he's really young. I, I would not be surprised if three or four years down the road, he's the best corner of these three, honestly, because he's got the traits. I just wonder, like, if it could be really rough out of the gate for the first couple years. And the fact, like, if you've got to draft this guy inside the top 40 picks, because that's where he is right now on the consensus board, I would be concerned.

That's what I was just going to say is where do you have this guy? Because it's interesting, in the beginning of the show you said that these are three round one guys and, and that actually kind of surprised me a little bit. I don't know. The consensus board, right? Yeah.

Marcus Moser
He, he's, he's not a round one guy for me on the consensus board. He's inside the top 32, which is why I could technically say that yeah, he's not somebody that I would consider there at all.

Landon McCool
I wouldn't either. And I, and I think he's, he's, he's got a lot longer to way to go than I thought. And it's not even just that he's got development to do because all these guys do. Right. And I do think that you're right. Like if, if it all works out for him, he could be the best of the bunch. Right. But like it's more that there's a lot of unknown there. Right. Like, because, you know, and it's almost like, not to get off on a tangent, but it's almost like the forgotten part of the age equation of, of, of the whole, you know, evaluation of players. It's not just that they're going to be old when they get in here. It's that them being old in college kind of blurs the line of how performative they were because they're seven years older than an 18 year old kid who's gotten into just came into college. This is like that where it's like I didn't see enough of him to like feel super good that you know he's going to come in and make it. I think there's a lot more uncertainty than there normally would be for a starting SEC corner who's considered to be a first of first round talent.
