Cowboys draft two cornerbacks, deny Scandrick trade reports

It’s all business for the Dallas Cowboys in the 2017 NFL Draft, as they are addressing needs with a deliberate focus.

After taking a much-needed defensive end in the first round on Thursday in Michigan’s Taco Charlton at No. 28, the Cowboys filled huge voids at cornerback with the selections of Colorado’s Chidobe Awuzie with the 60th pick in the second round and Michigan’s Jourdan Lewis with the 92nd pick in the third round.

It’s the first time since 1983 that the Cowboys drafted defensive players with their first three picks and was in keeping with the team’s defensive focus heading into the draft.
