Defense may be the name of the game for the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL draft, but it may have to wait until Round 2. Florida tight end Kyle Pitts had an unbelievable Pro Day performance, making him an even more desired first-round option for the club. Caleb Farley has a troubling injury history in regards to his back, but will his playmaking ability and impressive 40-yard dash time keep him as a draft option for the Cowboys? Head coach Mike McCarthy is known for valuing depth at the quarterback position so the Cowboys adding a developmental prospect later in the draft is very likely.
Safety Damontae Kazee adds experience and the ability to create turnovers to the Cowboys defense, which NFL Media Analyst Bucky Brooks details in his scouting report. How the Cowboys are operating their normal conservative free agency plan to a tee, Quinton Dunbar as a cornerback option, the Cowboys getting two defensive studs in Todd McShay’s latest two-round mock draft, and more are featured in Thursday’s news and notes.
