Dallas Cowboys score Quincy Roche in 7-round 2021 NFL Mock Draft
By Randy Gurzi
Dallas adds another CB in Marco Wilson from Florida.
After losing Byron Jones in free agency, the Cowboys found themselves needing to add depth this offseason. They picked up a couple of free agents as they added Daryl Worley and Maurice Canaday, although Canaday ended up opting out of the 2020 season.
In the draft, they picked up two rookies with Trevon Diggs from Alabama and Reggie Robinson out of Tulsa. Chances are those two could end up becoming starters for them but there could be more roster spots opening up — especially with Chidobe Awuzie and Jourdan Lewis both headed for free agency.
With that being the case, they go after Marco Wilson in the third round of this draft. The Florida product has NFL bloodlines with his older brother Quincy Wilson already playing in the league. The elder Wilson was a second-round pick of the Indianapolis Colts but has yet to become a star — evidence by the Colts trading him to the New York Jets for a late-round pick.
As for the younger Wilson brother, Marco is capable of playing both on the boundaries as well as inside as a nickel corner. His versatility makes him an ideal reserve with some upside to develop into a more solid contributor down the road.
