The Cowboys hold the 44th overall pick, which is the 12th spot in Friday's second round. Here are 12 possible candidates for the next pick.
Asante Samuel Jr, CB, Florida State - Led team in INTs; Opted out of the 2020 season after eight games. One thing he didn't get from his father was his tackling, where he's better. Son of an NFL veteran cornerback who had many great moments against the Cowboys.
Javon Holland, Safety, Oregon - Lined up as a split-safety and in the slot. Not the most athletic guy on the field, but an extremely fundamental player. 9 int and 11 PBU's.
Richie Grant, Safety, UCF - Started out as more of a deep safety for the Knights but reinvented himself around the line of scrimmage. First Team All-AAC honors
Christian Barmore, DT, Alabama - First Team All-SEC; National Championship Defensive MVP. Lines up in various alignments out of Saban's 3-4 scheme. Really blew up late.
Trevon Moehrig, S, TCU - Jim Thorpe Award; Second Team All-American; First Team All-Big 12. 26 passes defended and six interceptions in 22 games.
Elijah Molden, CB, Washington - Cowboys have looked at him extensively as a strong safety. Lined up primarily vs. the slot receiver while also seeing reps as a single-high.
Tyson Campbell, CB, Georgia - Played with Patrick Surtain under his father in HS. Fluid hips and closing speed. Half of his 340 yards allowed came in one game vs. Bama (162 yards)
Kelvin Joseph, CB, Kentucky - Transfer from LSU. Led the team in PD, INTs; Opted out of the final two games. Inconsistent upside (allowed 0 rec on 3 targets vs. Alabama)
Levi Onwuzurike, DT, Washington - Fires off the snap and consistently makes plays away from his gap with effort. HS Teammates at Allen with QB Kyler Murray, OT Greg Little.
Andre Cisco, Syracuse - Did not workout due to a knee. First freshman to lead the country in interceptions since 1998. 13 career picks. Only 1 year of varsity football in high school.
Carlos Basham, Jr., Wake Forest - Has all the tools to be a consistent pocket pusher. Should he refrain from taking plays off, he's an every-down 4-3 end. 23-straight games with TFL.
