28. Dallas Cowboys

Florida. Teez Tabor . 28. player. 123. The entire defense needs a major face lift for the Dallas Cowboys. It was warned that the unit might be a liability in the playoffs despite the team going 13-3 last season. Indeed that was the case as Aaron Rodgers picked it apart for 34 points including the final dagger pass to Jared Cook. This team is very light on defensive playmakers and it will continue to haunt them until that changes. <p>A pass rusher would be nice but the board doesn’t swing that way at this pick. However, cornerback does with Teez Tabor somehow still being available. The Florida cornerback is an accomplish player. He’s got size, athleticism and ball skills. He plays with a steady confidence and doesn’t allow many big plays when QBs throw his way. Given how many corners are leaving in free agency, the Cowboys have to respond early.</p>. CB
