Remember the last time the Cowboys successfully drafted a CB? Yeah, neither do we. And there may be a reason for that.
The Cowboys have invested 22 draft picks into defensive backs since 2005. Outside of the three first-round picks Mike Jenkins, Morris Claiborne, and Byron Jones, only two of the remaining 19 picks, Orlando Scandrick (fifth round, 2008) and J.J. Wilcox (third round, 2013), worked out somewhat favorably for the Cowboys.
A "hit rate" of two out of 19 raises questions about the Cowboys' scouts ability to recognize what makes an NFL-caliber defensive back. And this is especially worrisome as there's a good possibility the Cowboys could draft another cornerback or two next year.
