Why the Cowboys won’t draft a safety early and the gems they could find on Day 3

The Dallas Cowboys are weird when it comes to the safety position. They have shown time and time again that it’s not high on their priority list as they never throw any meaningful resources at it. Even when it’s a glaring need and some nice talent is available (like say, the second round of the 2019 NFL draft), they balk at the notion and go a different direction.

Not only does this position take a back seat in the draft, but the team tends to go cheap in free agency. Last year, they signed three different safeties to super-cheap one-year deals hoping to find some degree of contribution from someone.
