Despite this, the last time the Cowboys drafted a safety higher than the sixth round was Byron Jones in the first round of the 2015 draft. Jones was originally a cornerback before converting to safety his rookie season and then eventually back to cornerback.

We are less than a month away from the 2025 NFL Draft, where the Dallas Cowboys will go to work and find some new players. Some have expressed an interest in trading up for Colorado’s Travis Hunter to give them another star player at a premium position(s).

The Dallas Cowboys were surprisingly active in the first few weeks of free agency this year. At least in quantity if not in quality. As the first month of the NFL’s new year winds down, the Cowboys currently have 75 players on the active roster and already counting against the cap.
