Dallas Cowboys’ post-Senior Bowl mock draft roundup
3. CBS Sports/Kyle Stackpole – Daxton Hill, CB, Michigan
Career stats: 149 total tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, 0.5 sacks, 4 interceptions, 15 passes defended
"“Hill can help basically anywhere in the secondary, which would be a huge plus for a Dallas defense that could lose Jayron Kearse and Damontae Kazee in free agency. He’ll also be another ballhawk for the Cowboys’ turnover-hungry unit.” -Kyle Stackpole, CBS Sports"
Now, this is a player I really would like to see the Cowboys select in this year’s draft. Picture a multi-use player similar to Parsons. Hill has the ability to move the secondary where he can play safety as well as cornerback.
His ability to move around formations at will would make him an incredibly valuable addition to a Cowboys secondary that could be losing two impact safeties in free agency and possibly a cornerback in Anthony Brown. When you have two players on defense that opposing teams must account for at all times, it will make it tougher for opponents to read as their athletic ability allows them to play sideline-to-sideline. I’m all for Hill.
