CB Jaycee Horn is far cry from consolation prize for Cowboys in 2021 draft

Jaycee Horn is one of the most natural cover corners in this draft class but is seen as the third option for the Cowboys. Is he a good fit?

As outlined in last week’s profile onn Patrick Surtain II, the Dallas Cowboys’ cornerback situation is looking rather messy. There are quite a few pieces which won’t be nailed down until after free agency, namely Chidobe Awuzie and Anthony Brown. While Trevon Diggs is on the roster and showed promise, he may not have shown enough for the team to feel comfortable with him as their No. 1 cornerback moving forward.

Enter the top of this cornerback class. Alabama’s Surtain, Caleb Farley from Virginia Tech, and South Carolina Gamecock Jaycee Horn all look like future stars in the NFL if their careers pan out as expected. While the Cowboys are sitting pretty with the No. 10 pick in terms of being able to grab their guy, it is unclear right now whether all three of them will be available when the team is on the clock. Horn seems to be checking in as the third option for most Cowboys fans and analysts but he would be a fantastic get for the organization at the right price.
