2017 NFL Mock Draft: Jimmy Garoppolo Trade Impacts Early

123. In truth it felt like the Dallas Cowboys were getting away with a lot on defense most of 2016. They never really felt like a unit that could get stops in the playoffs. After all they were ranked a lowly 26th against the pass. Sure enough it caught up to them as Aaron Rodgers sliced them up for 355 yards and two touchdowns. That was without his best weapon in Jordy Nelson too. It’s clear the Cowboys secondary wasn’t up to the task. <p>Worse still their cornerback situation is liable to get even thinner in free agency. That’s why drafting Sidney Jones is more of a necessity than a desire. Not that it’s a big issue. Jones proved his skill and playmaking potential for Washington all season long. He’s got size, athleticism and enough speed to hang with receivers down the field. While not quite Marcus Peters in terms of ball skills, he has the instincts to find the football in the air too.</p>. CB. Washington. Sidney Jones . 28. player
