While it is not a universal conclusion, a large majority of mock drafts have the Dallas Cowboys taking Alabama cornerback Patrick Surtain II with the tenth pick of the NFL Draft. It seems a near perfect fit. Dallas has far more glaring needs on defense than on offense, and a starting cornerback is one of the more obvious. The nine teams ahead of the Cowboys are all expected by many draftniks to go offense, meaning that Dallas would have the opportunity to take the best defensive player in the class, and a lot of people will argue that Surtain is exactly that.
