Keionte Scott: Cowboys' Draft Target

0:00On April 2nd, Dallas Cowboys' corner-back room is hurting bad right now. Travondigs and Jordan Lewis are gone, leaving a big hole in that secondary. Younger guys like Shavon Rebel Jr. and Kalen Carson haven't stepped up yet, so the teams eyeing the draft for some fire. Enter Kiyante Scott, a 5-foot 113-pound corner from Miami with a 4.4440 time. He grinded his way up from Snow College in Utah, dominated there, then hit Auburn in the SEC before shining at Miami on a top defense. What stands out is his versatility. He locks down the slot or outside, blasts in the run game, and plays bigger than he looks. That intensity fires up the whole unit, and he proved it with a 72 yard pick 6 in the cotton bowl against Ohio State. He's got flaws. Though lean or frame might struggle with big NFL receivers, tackling can get sloppy when he goes for the big hit, and at 25 A's. A rookie, some wonder about his ceiling. Still, his recent place is he's got plenty left.

1:02For Cowboys DC Christian Parker, Scott's a perfect match with his smart, disguised ability and turnover knack. Projective for day 2, he trade back material, sliding right in his nickel or depth, while boosting that takeaway game and bringing the edge Dave. Mist. Cowboys could use that spark to rebuild on the fly.
