Pick Analysis. IDL. South Carolina. 2. Scouting Report. Javon Kinlaw. player. 850

I know I said that the Dallas Cowboys need to focus on their secondary this offseason, but they also have a need on their defensive line and if Javon Kinlaw is on the board, they’ll have a tough time passing on him. They do have Antwaun Woods, but he could be a cap casualty and Trysten Hill has been a disappointment thus far.

Kinlaw is a monster of a man and has the strength to win one-on-one matchups. He has solid pass rush moves and is very quick off the snap. He also has the versatility to move around on the line creating mismatches on every snap. This would be a worthwhile pick for the Dallas Cowboys.

player. 840. Scouting Report. Florida. C.J. Henderson. 3. Pick Analysis. Cornerback

Another corner that can fill the void of Jones is the cornerback from Florida C.J. Henderson. He has the ability to create turnovers due to his long arms and above-average ball skills. The Dallas Cowboys severely lack a playmaker on the defensive side that can give the ball back to their offense.

Not only is Henderson a great player on the field but he’s also a great leader on and off the field. He has the honor of wearing the prestigious number one jersey that Florida only gives out to the most deserving player. Henderson is the first player to don that jersey number since Vernon Hargraves III back in 2015.
