Dallas Cowboys: Cornerback finally not a draft priority

Related Topics: Jalen Ramsey

It seemed like an annual ritual. The Dallas Cowboys spent the last three offseasons frantically trying to shore up the corner position.

In 2015, they selected Byron Jones in the first round as a hybrid defensive back. However, the need at corner won out and he played there his first season.

The Cowboys didn’t draft corner Anthony Brown until the 6th round in 2016. Yet circumstances caused the draft delay instead of a lacking desire.

Let’s not forget Dallas was close to selecting corner Jalen Ramsey 4th overall instead of Ezekiel Elliott.
