Could Jalen Pitre fill the Cowboys’ annual need at safety better than other draft prospects?

The 2021 Jayron Kearse signing was an absolute home run for the Dallas Cowboys. Kearse posted positive grades per PFF in every category, bringing in his second-highest graded season since he has been in the league playing extensive snaps for the first time. His deal was just for one year and until he is re-signed the Cowboys have to consider finding his skill set a major need, whether it be to play alongside him or in place of him.

Baylor safety Jalen Pitre showed well in Mobile, AL for the Reese’s Senior Bowl. He is a box safety, nickel CB prospect who excels in navigating the box, tackling and shows a high football IQ. Could he fit in the Cowboys long term plans?
