Cowboys should target this dynamic safety
Would you be okay with Dillon Thieneman in the first?
The Dallas Cowboys’ safety room has undergone a transition this offseason. The front office has thrown out some cash in free agency to acquire the services of Jalen Thompson and P. J.
Locke, to combine with incumbent Malik Hooker, to give the team a much better core group. While those are a couple of nice additions, the Cowboys still lack a true center-fielder to roam the secondary. If the Cowboys hope to stop giving up big plays at the worst possible times, they need to look toward the draft for a game-changer, and here is one prospect who should be heavily on their radar.
