With the 21st pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys select Ashtyn Davis, safety, California.

This pick may be a bit of a reach for the Cowboys here, but as they seem to always be desperate to get a safety that is not named Jeff Heath, why not take a chance on the highly active and athletic Ashtyn Davis from California? A former collegiate track runner, Davis is a rangy safety who cover ground rather quickly in the third level of the Golden Bears’ defense.

After a junior year where Davis recorded four picks, and five passes defended, he has played his way into a Senior Bowl invite, as he has recorded one interception and four passes defended for Cal this year. His film is a thrill to watch as he can play in the box, over the top, and cover ground with what seems like just a few strides.

The Cowboys were almost willing to give up multiple first round picks for New York Jets’ safety, so using one first round pick to reach a tiny bit on Davis, who will probably be an early-to-mid second rounder, doesn’t seem improbable as Dallas can now control a fifth year option on Davis as well.
