Dallas Cowboys nab top defensive player in new mock draft
By Connor Green
The Dallas Cowboys headed into this offseason with a plethora of needs that were heavily skewed towards the defensive side of the ball. The organization has made a handful of moves to attempt to address those needs thus far during free agency.
The team has added players like safety Damontae Kazee, who led the league in interceptions with seven back in 2018, and safety Keanu Neal. Neal will reportedly play mostly weakside linebacker for Dallas next year. The organization has also made a handful of other, less significant, moves to shore up the depth of their defensive line.
America’s Team still has slightly under $8 million left in cap space, though most of the top free agents have already been signed. That leaves Dallas hoping that they can fill their remaining needs during the upcoming NFL Draft.
Fortunately, the Cowboys currently hold a whopping ten picks, starting with the tenth overall pick in the draft, to try and fill these needs while adding to their roster.
Without further ado here is (yet another) full mock draft for the Dallas Cowboys’ upcoming 2021 NFL Draft.
