Cowboys news: The starting secondary is tough to predict in Dallas

Kelvin Joseph was picked in the second round, but will need to earn his position.

David Helman: Maybe I’m just boring, but I don’t think people fully appreciates how hard it is to start as a rookie – especially at this position. I know Trevon Diggs did it last year, but that’s not the norm. Diggs, Anthony Brown and Jourdan Lewis combine for 10 years of starting NFL experience, which gives them a pretty obvious leg up on the likes of Kelvin Joseph and Nahshon Wright. I’m not ruling out the possibility that the rookies earn playing time as the season goes along, but I think the veterans will hold on to their jobs at least through the first month or so of the season.
