The Cowboys are desperate for help on all three levels of their defense, and while I think new Defensive Coordinator Dan Quinn would prefer a bigger corner like Farley with this pick, Horn would start from Day One in the secondary. Horn is the best athlete of the three corners that sit atop our Big Board. The son of former All-Pro receiver, Joe Horn, Jaycee is the same fiery competitor as his father was in New Orleans. He has the quick-twitch athleticism to blanket opposing receivers, and if you need proof, check out his performance against Auburn this past fall.

This secondary struggled for most of the 2020 campaign, and on top of that, Chidobe Awuzie, Jourdan Lewis, and Xavier Woods are all hitting Free Agency. I'd target Farley over Horn because of his size, but Quinn has adapted his scheme around the talent he has in the past, and I don't expect him to hold tight to his preference for big corners the way Kris Richard did.

I'm a huge fan of Ojulari, and as we get deeper into the pre-draft process, I think we are going to see him shoot up boards. While he played more as an edge-rushing linebacker at Georgia, I think he might fit perfect as a strong-side linebacker in an under front like Dan Quinn ran in Seattle and Atlanta. He's explosive at the point of attack, whether taking on blocks or making stops. Ojulari could also help in the nickel as an edge rusher that can capture the edge with his terrific acceleration. If Dan Quinn is determined to run that style of system in Dallas, a player like Ojulari will be important because the Cowboys don't currently have a player with the skill set to handle that role.

COWBOYS HISTORICAL DRAFT PICKS
Reach/Value (R/V) Explained
The difference between where a player is selected in the NFL draft versus where the player was listed on the final Drafttek Big Board for the season in question.Example: A player who was listed at #50 on the Big Board and was selected at #35 will be a "Reach" of -15. Alternately, a player listed at #35 on the Big Board who was selected at #50 is a +15 "Value".
Simply put: a positive number is a Value pick, a negative number is a Reach.
