It was not too long ago that we were debating who the Cowboys should draft. Pass rusher and secondary were two of the more glaring needs on the roster when considering the losses of Byron Jones and Robert Quinn in free agency, and the uneasiness that the safety position has provided Cowboys fans for years, if not decades.
Many assumed one of those two positions would be the route that the Cowboys would take in the first round of this year’s draft. Prospects such as LSU EDGE K’Lavon Chassion and Alabama safety Xavier McKinney were two of the more popular picks in many mock drafts leading up to the big event.
