With the 10th overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft...

the Dallas Cowboys select Patrick Surtain II, CB, Alabama.

While not surprised, the Cowboys are a bit disappointed that neither Kyle Pitts nor Penei Sewell dropped to #10. They might also have considered Chase or Waddle, both of whom they think are perennial pro bowlers who could replace Michael Gallup after this upcoming season. Accepting these draft outcomes, the defense needs major help and will be a major focus of their draft across the coming days. The 2020 Cowboys defense was historically bad, so they excitedly hand in their card securing one of the drafts top defensive backs.

The Cowboys considered Caleb Farley as an alternate for this pick. They actually have Farley graded higher than Patrick Surtain II and consider him to be a better scheme fit, but given the number of holes and lack of CB depth, they needed to ensure they got a season-long starter with this pick. Given Farleys extensive injury history including the fact that he is scheduled to have back surgery next week (super scary even if minor), they elected for Surtain who has a very high floor and gives them confidence heading into the season. The Cowboys take the safe pick.
