Linebackers is a position that has lost steam in most mock drafts, but it should not be forgotten for the #27 pick. The Cowboys have been very diligent in the players they have had interest in, including linebacker dating back to the 2014 draft with high interest in Ryan Shazier.
One player that seems to be higher on the Cowboys board than most would think is Benardrick McKinney, LB, Mississippi State
Over the past few weeks the Cowboys have attended McKinney’s pro day, they invited him to Valley Ranch, and then they recently sent an assistant coach up to McKinney for a workout.
