The Dallas Cowboys‘ first four selections in the 2021 NFL Draft all went to one side of the ball. And that’s on defense. That after the Cowboys fielded a terrible defensive performance in 2020.
The defensive resurgence in Dallas started Thursday night with the selection of Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons with the 12th overall pick in the first round. That defensive trend continued into day two on Friday night.
With their first of four draft selections, the Cowboys drafted Kentucky cornerback Kelvin Joseph with the 44th overall pick in the second round.
