The word order "with a cord around their necks" seems okay to me. But the version in which "the cord" appears second does not really make a big difference, if at all.

But this is just personal taste.

The question was if these two sentences grammatically correct.
a. I found this book I think you will like some citations from. I am writing them down for you.
b. I found this collection of short stories I am sure he will appreciate some stories from. I am sending the book to him.
I believe they are.

Usage is often different from grammatical correctness.
Remember the McDonald's slogan: "I'm loving it". Grammatically, this ought to be wrong.
