With the 123rd overall pick in round four of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys select…

Jeremy Chinn, S – Southern Illinois

This pick fills a need with the type of player that Dallas needs to target. Chinn may be under the radar, but his play is not.

At 6-foot-3 and 221 lbs., he ran a 4.45-forty at the NFL Combine with 20 reps of 225 lbs on the bench press. Size, speed and strength all in one with impressive stats at the college level.

In four seasons as a Saluki, Chinn posted 13 interceptions, 31 pass defenses, six forced fumbles with 243 tackles. There were other very tantalizing options available but Chinn was my choice.

Other possible options available: Harrison Bryant, TE – Florida Atlantic, Albert Okwuegbunam, TE – Missouri

With the 164th overall pick in round five of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys select…

Jordan Keene, TE – Virginia Tech

Keene is more of a blocking tight end than a pass catcher, but he did finish his junior season with five touchdowns out of 21 receptions. Keene has the versatility to line up at multiple positions and is a willing and determined blocker.
