It was only last off-season when the Dallas Cowboys largest question mark was the cornerback position. They had a second-round pick with tremendous potential named Trevon Diggs, a sixth-round pick who has continued to play above his draft position, in Anthony Brown and then a whole lot of unknowns. Chidobe Awuzie signed with the Cincinati Bengals, rumors were swirling about a potential move to safety for Jourdan Lewis, and no other Cowboys corners had much experience at the NFL level.
After an all-pro season from Trevon Diggs, Anthony Brown having the best success of his career opposite him, and a pair of top 100 picks from the draft to develop, there’s a question as to whether it’s even worth targeting a corner before Day 3. Unfortunately, Kelvin Joseph and Nahshon Wright didn’t get the playing time necessary to evaluate them on tape fairly. This leaves the door open to drafting a corner early, especially if two talents like Ahmad Gardner or Derek Stingley Jr. drop to Dallas in the first round.
Likely? No. But how many years of unlikely drops in the draft does it take before fans stop shutting down conversations
This is a recurring series to debate which of two prospects is the best fit for the Dallas Cowboys. This edition will be between two well-regarded defensive back prospects. LSU corner Derek Stingley Jr. and Cincinati Bearcats Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner. It features LP Cruz formerly of The Across the Cowboys Podcast.
