Cowboys draft: The balance between “best player available” and fixing the defense

Let’s assume that everything goes according to plan in the draft for the Dallas Cowboys and Patrick Surtain II gets past the potential minefield of the Detroit Lions, Carolina Panthers, and Denver Broncos. The Cowboys get their guy. Great, but what’s the plan after that? What’s the strategy if another player they have a first-round grade on is falling? Are they prepared to move up and get them, or will they sit tight and focus on another position of need?

This team continues to say that they will not be drafting for need and the plan is always the best player available.
