Dallas Cowboys' Secondary: Draft Day Fix

0:00On April 8, Dallas Cowboys fans peep this, as the draft creeps of in a couple weeks, their biggest headache is that secondary. It's packed with bodies, but none scream elite. They dropped a big cash on safety Jalen Thompson to anchor it, yet the corners and nickel spots look shaky without real firepower. Dig deeper, and you see the cracks. They run bland, locked in a new deal, but keeps battling foot surgeries, missing time. They cut Chavon digs last year, and Chavon revels still in right post, ACL tier. Debt pieces like Kobe Durant and PJ, locked from the Broncos are in the mix, plus Malik Hooker holding steady. Folks are buzzing because the nickel packages, which they run most, the lineup feels thin. Ready steward, that undrafted hustler with 63 tackles last year, slots as nickel corner now. Solid backup, sure, but starting him in crunch time? Nah, fans ain't sleeping easy on that. Reports say they're eyeing a combo of Durant, Thompson, and lock for nickel duties, shifting bland outside.

1:02Draft chatter points to grabbing the top defender at pick 12, ideally a corner, then building from there at 20. Bottom line, this secondary's got numbers, but lacks punch to carry Dallas deep. Draft days, they're shot to flip the script and shore up that back end for real.
