For years, the Dallas Cowboys have faced criticism for their lack of investment when it comes to their safety position. But they’ve also had success finding day three gems in the draft.
Since 2014, the Cowboys haven’t drafted a pure safety higher than the sixth-round. Yet the three safeties they’ve landed in that round, Kavon Frazier (2016), Xavier Woods (2017), and Donovan Wilson (2019), have all turned into solid contributors for the defense.
Of the three, Woods was the biggest find having started 48 games during his run in Dallas.
