With their second fifth-round pick, the Dallas Cowboys addressed their secondary and drafted Fresno State Cornerback DaRon Bland. While some fans and analysts felt their secondary was an area that the Cowboys didn’t need to address in this year’s draft, the franchise took a flier on a CB who was gaining late NFL Draft buzz.

Additionally, with the Kelvin Joseph legal situation still floating around, the pick feels like an insurance selection for the franchise in case they have to move on from him. Nonetheless, Bland is a long, twitchy corner that should provide depth to the CB room, and given his athletic traits– it’s no surprise that DC Dan Quinn likely pounded the table for his selection.

Check out some of the reactions we saw after the Bland selection:
