After the first week of free agency, the Dallas Cowboys’ needs in the upcoming 2021 NFL Draft become more clear with their moves, including the acquisition of hybrid safety Keanu Neal. While also adding rotational players for the offensive and defensive line, cornerback is still a position of need.
A big move for Dallas was retaining cornerback Jourdan Lewis and the Cowboys are still looking for an outside corner to play across from Trevon Diggs in his sophomore season. With the news of Caleb Farley having a back procedure, mock drafts will be shaken up in regards to the Virginia Tech product. Several of these mocks were made prior to the announcement of the surgery, so Farley’s stock hadn’t “dropped” in those.
During the 2020 season, the Cowboys had struggled on the offensive line, losing the pair of Tyron Smith and La’el Collins early, and offensive tackle could also be something Dallas will look for in the draft as insurance. As NFL free agency continues, the Cowboys will be looking towards signing a safety, and this will bring more clarity. Will Dallas go defense at No. 10? Or will they try to help protect quarterback Dak Prescott?
Here’s the roundup of all the Cowboys’ picks in recent mock drafts.
