Dallas Cowboys Draft: Defensive Prospects You Need to Know

Corners are a fairly deep class this draft and some value can be found in later rounds. The top names on the boards when the Cowboys pick are Kristian Fulton, C.J. Anderson, and Trevon Diggs. Jeffrey Okudah should being long gone by the seventeenth pick. Fulton, Anderson, and Diggs are all good corners who have ball skills and can play man coverage. The second round has a cluster that includes A.J. Terrell, Jeff Gladney, and Bryce Hall. Each has some size or scheme issues, but all have the athleticism to be starting quality corners.

As the draft goes on there are some guys who can certainly help themselves and some have the added ability to play special teams, day one. Names like Chase Lucas, Amik Robertson, Myles Brant are names later to pay attention to. Depending on what the Cowboys do with Byron Jones, more than one could be needed in the draft. If they grab one early, one of the names above could be an addition later.

The corner class is fairly deep, but as the rounds wear on, scheme will play a huge role on what names to pay attention to. If the Cowboys go cover safety early, then a corner may not be the need until later.
