The Dallas Cowboys cornerback position has gone through many changes over the last few years. The team overhauled the entire secondary in 2017 and parted ways with starting outside corners Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne. This decision was made for a handful of reasons including - salary cap savings, an upcoming deep draft class of corners, and the strong rookie season of sixth-round pick Anthony Brown that they felt could slide into one of the starting outside corner spots.
The Cowboys were able to select Chidobe Awuzie and Jourdan Lewis on Day 2 of the draft.
