  • The Cowboys addressed their need for bodies in the secondary by drafting CB's Chidobe Awuzie and Jourdan Lewis in the second and third rounds of the NFL draft, respectively.
  • However, both project better as inside, rather than outside, cornerbacks.
  • Each will be given the opportunity to win the outside job, but the one who misses out may be stuck behind Orlando Scandrick for at least the 2017 season.
  • The Cowboys have added talented pieces to their secondary, but time will tell if they have the guy that will man the outside for years to come.
  • Lewis lacks ideal height to play outside and Awuzie was more productive in the slot than outside during his last season at Colorado.
