The Dallas Cowboys kept the focus on defense in the second round of the NFL draft Friday night, taking Kentucky cornerback Kelvin Joseph with the 44th overall pick.

Cornerback was arguably the greatest need on a unit that allowed the most points in franchise history while going 6-10 in coach Mike McCarthy’s first season in 2020.

Dallas lost a starter in Chidobe Awuzie to Cincinnati in free agency, a year after 2015 first-round pick Byron Jones signed an expensive contract with Miami.
