The Dallas Cowboys are on a hot streak to end November, with three straight wins. Dallas capped off the month with a Thanksgiving Day win over the Kansas City Chiefs and will now have the weekend off to enjoy some action from around the league and the top NFL Draft prospects in action.
For Dallas, needs remain in the secondary thanks to a thin safety group, and with two first-round picks there will be opportunities to make something happen when draft day rolls around.
The Bleacher Report Scouting Department shared its weekly list of top NFL draft fits for every team, with safety getting a look for the Cowboys.

McNeil-Warren, who has spent his entire college career in Toledo, is a do-it-all player who can make plays against the run, rushing the passer, or in coverage. He starred at Lakewood high school in St. Petersburg, Florida, before committing to play for the Rockets and exceeding all expectations.
“Something must be in Toledo’s water, because the Rockets have another hard-hitting, multi-talented defensive back who is going to make an NFL impact in McNeil-Warren,” defensive backs scout Daniel Harms said in the McNeil-Warren’s scouting report. “The safety is a physical tone-setter who understands how to put his stamp on a football game.”
“…[He’s] a willing and effective run supporting safety who can set the tone with big hits, [and his] zone eyes show up in identifying route concepts underneath and matching that with quarterback eyes.”
