During the 2016 season, the Cowboys had a glaring need for an edge rusher, ranking a lowly 25th in cumulative team pass-rush grades.

Losing 1,419 snaps at the cornerback position through the departures Morris Claiborne and Brandon Carr gives rise to another glaring concern.

Cornerback has leapt up the team's list of priorities, but pass rush remains a concern, with no defender notching more than 38 total pressures last season, or less than half the league-leading total of Khalil Mack (96).
