The safety position has been a group that has often brought about uncertainty for the Dallas Cowboys over the years. We’ve seen tandems such as Ken Hamlin/Gerald Sensabaugh, Barry Church/Jeff Heath, and Xavier Woods/Donovan Wilson, all of which have created many cringeworthy moments at times.
The Cowboys don’t invest any meaningful draft capital at the position despite having their chances over the years. The highest pick they’ve used on a safety in the last 20 years is pick 80 when they selected J.J. Wilcox in 2013. Instead, the Cowboys go the cheaper route, filling the spot with sixth-rounders and UDFAs.
