Defensive backs (11, 53/53)

  • 1. Chidobe Awuzie (CB)
  • 2. Trevon Diggs (CB)
  • 3. Anthony Brown (CB)
  • 4. Reggie Robinson (CB)
  • 5. Daryl Worley (CB)
  • 6. Jourdan Lewis (CB)
  • 7. Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix (S)
  • 8. Xavier Woods (S)
  • 9. Darian Thompson (S)
  • 10. CJ Goodwin (CB)
  • 11. Donovan Wilson (S)

Finally for the Cowboys, the defensive backfield.

The team lost star cornerback Byron Jones to the Miami Dolphins, an expected loss on the back end of the defense. They also lost longtime safety Jeff Heath to the Raiders.

To replace those guys, the Cowboys brought in a variety of players.

At safety, they signed veteran Ha Ha Clinton-Dix who played last season with the Chicago Bears to pair with Xavier Woods at the safety position.

At cornerback, Dallas’ biggest addition was Alabama’s Trevon Diggs, who should be counted on to start as a rookie. Fourth-round pick Reggie Robinson is a tremendous athlete whose productivity at Tulsa was vastly underrated and he could be a big-time steal in this class.

Dallas’ safety depth is not great but they could rotate players at different positions in Mike Nolan’s defense.
