Jermod McCoy Falls to the Raiders in the Fourth Round

The Las Vegas Raiders have selected Tennessee cornerback prospect Jermod McCoy (knee) with the 101st overall pick in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. McCoy was once regarded as an elite prospect and potential top-10 pick, but he fell to Day 3 because NFL teams were concerned that he would require a future surgery to replace a bone plug used to repair a cartilage defect in his knee. An additional surgery would jeopardize his rookie season and also have a negative effect on his career. By pick No. 101, the Raiders decided that was a risk worth taking, and they came to terms on a trade with the Bills to move up one slot and select McCoy. He hasn't played since 2024, when he logged 44 tackles and four interceptions across 13 games with the Volunteers.
