For Dallas, the biggest priorities will have to be getting Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne to perform at the level that they once played at. It was Carr's efforts in Kansas City and Claiborne's as a college athlete that prompted the team to invest heavily in each man. As of yet, Jerry Jones has not received his money's worth on either investment, although at times each man has shown signs of what he is capable of as a Cowboy. It will be up to Coach Marinelli and defensive backs coach Jerome Henderson to return these two critical pieces to their former levels of production.
Undrafted free agent Jocquel Skinner is a player in the "big corner" mold. He checks in at 6'2". Although information on Skinner is hard to find due to his playing at tiny NAIA school Bethel State, his athletic abilities and measurables are impressive. Among his numbers are a 4.49 in the 40, 7.01 3-cone drill and he posted 37 inches in the vertical jump, as well a 10'02" in the broad jump. He is a raw talent, and if he lands a spot in Dallas for 2014 it will likely be on the practice squad as he attempts to transition to playing against the best football has to offer.
His fellow rookie, seventh-round pick Terrance Mitchell, has already faced high level competition as a member of the University of Oregon's football team. Although he is more in the mold of a traditional corner, Mitchell will also be battling to make a future for himself. Also athletic, but not quite as much so as Skinner, he has demonstrated the ability to compete against high level competition and play both his man and the ball. To make a name for himself, Terrance Mitchell is going to have to quit living for the big play and develop into a consistent player if he wants a career in football.
