The corner back class is one of the deepest this year and there still will be day 1 starters to choose from, might even stretch to rd 3. Outside of losing Stokes late yesterday, here are 4 corners that are excellent fits for the Cowboys:

Melifonwu-fits their prototype to a tee. Big/Long, Fast. Ideal Cover 3 Corner. They have shown major interest in him.

Campbell-has all the physical traits they look for. His biggest issue is locating the football. Was Surtain's running mate in high school.

Joseph-he is as good as the 1st tier corners. What has made me drop is character concerns. Quit LSU twice and Kentucky was happy to see him go. His game and attitude resemble Marcus Peters, who is a good corner in this league.

Adebo-another, big/long corner, but lacks elite speed. He has a knack of getting his hands on many balls. Might be there at 75.

What will help the Cowboys is there are several undersized corners who will also be selected on day 2, which they will most likely not be interested with: Samuel, Robinson, Molden (as a corner)

Those are good names. Not sure I would take most of them at 44 though, but maybe with a trade back into round two with your threes.

That is my hope at 44, unless one of those 1st rd players falls like JOK, Barmore or Jenkins.
Barmore not a 1st round player

Major character concerns too..him and Parsons? Not sure about that

Boss Man Fat in the 3rd round!!!! In all seriousness though Melifounwu tested better then Surtain at his pro day and is a little bigger. I think the Stanford cornerback is the guy we draft though.

Based on talent, he is close to the top two corners taken in the top 10. Someone is going to get a 1st rd corner on day 2 in Joseph.
He is a natural cornerback but he is a coach and scout nightmare off the field. Parsons/Joseph could change things for us. I love the idea.

Asante Samuel is also still on the board but i doubt he makes it to 44

Quinn has worked with the likes of Earl and Sherman, think he could handle a Joseph and a Parsons.

If it was up to me, unless one of those 1st rd players slides to 44, I am addressing the Safety position, then trading up in the back end of rd 2 to land my corner. The defensive tackle class isn't great, they can address those needs after.

A good safety has some of the same traits and abilities as a cornerback, I would also take a safety if a high rated one is there at 44, he can do at least as much for Dallas as a second-tire corner...
