The younger brother of Buffalo Bills WR Stefon Diggs, Trevon snagged three interceptions and recorded 37 total tackles last year for the Crimson Tide. The team was linked extensively to him during the pre-draft process.
After drafting for clearly the best player available in Round 1, taking Diggs at No. 51 definitely fills a need. Dallas has a major void to fill in the secondary with the loss of Byron Jones, and are currently uncommitted to Chidobe Awuzie, Jourdan Lewis and Xavier Woods beyond this season.
At 6-2 and 207 pounds, Diggs certainly has the traits and pedigree to provide a boost in both the near and longterm for the Dallas defense.
