Are The Dallas Cowboys Targeting Jaycee Horn Over Patrick Surtain?

Horn finished with 16 tackles, six pass breakups, and two interceptions in seven games with the Gamecocks in 2020. In 13 appearances with the Crimson Tide, Surtain posted 38 tackles, 12 pass breakups, and one interception. Surtain (No. 16) ranks higher than Horn (No. 21) on the B/R NFL Scouting Department's final big board, and the difference in their overall grades is marginal. Both are considered good enough to become immediate starters at the next level. If someone like Florida tight end Kyle Pitts unexpectedly falls to No. 10, then the Cowboys should consider drafting the best player available. If the first round plays out as expected, then Horn or Surtain would be the obvious choice. Dallas allowed 227.6 passing yards per game and ranked 26th in opponent passer rating (100.4) last year. The draft presents the front office with a cost-effective way to upgrade at cornerback ahead of the regular season
