USAT: Cowboys Wire

Jan 27, 2022

The Dallas Cowboys’ secondary has long been an issue, but it looked much improved this past season under new defensive coordinator, Dan Quinn. Cornerback Trevon Diggs had a vastly improved year following his rookie campaign, leading the league in interceptions with 11. The Cowboys’ cornerback depth chart reads as follows: Diggs, Anthony Brown, Jourdan Lewis, Kelvin Joseph, Nahshon Wright, and special teamer CJ Goodwin. Diggs, Joseph and Wright are all still on their rookie deals and look to be in Dallas at least for the next few years. Brown’s deal ends after 2022 and Lewis’ deal following the 2023 season. - A team can never have enough cornerbacks, and this looks to be especially true in Dallas this year. Diggs ascent is going to lead to a huge payday, limiting the amount of resources that can be allocated elsewhere, so a slew of young talent to take over for the veterans is a necessity. If the right fight comes along, they need to be fully prepared to pull the trigger on the position, but is there anyone at the top-end of the draft class worthy of bypassing bigger needs? Could University of Florida’s Kaiir Elam be that enticing? -
