Dallas Cowboys: Why picking a first-round safety is a mistake

The Dallas Cowboys’ front office and coaching staff are in Indianapolis this week for the annual scouting combine. Most mock drafts are forecasting the Cowboys will use the 17th pick in the first round on a safety whether it be Grant Delpit from LSU or Xavier McKinney from Alabama. There was even a mock draft that was anticipating wide receiver as a need position with CeeDee Lamb from Oklahoma as the Cowboys’ pick.

It will be a mistake for Dallas to select any of the players being mocked to the Cowboys in the first round.
