Losing Jourdan Lewis to the Jacksonville Jaguars in free agency was a tough blow to the Dallas Cowboys. Add that to the unknown timetable of when Trevon Diggs can return from his season-ending injury last year, and there's currently a lot of uncertainty at the cornerback position in Dallas.
To keep from being absolutely desperate at CB heading into the 2025 NFL Draft, the Cowboys did re-sign versatile DB Israel Mukuamu and traded for former first-round pick Kaiir Elam. Unless either or both suddenly has a career resurgence, the need to still upgrade the position remains at a high level of urgency.
