The NFL Draft is one of my favorite events in the league calendar. It’s a time of excitement and hope for every fan base. Watching bright college football stars get the call to play on Sundays, wondering who’s picking who and what unexpected selection or trade will mess up every single mock draft available. As every …
In search of defensive line talent during the 2019 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys have been linked publicly to TCU Horned Frogs lineman LJ Collier in multiple mock drafts. Collier is a 6’2″ 283 pound college defensive end who may struggle at first to find a true position in the NFL. Despite his flaws, the Cowboys …
SPARQ is a rating system a lot of NFL teams, including the Dallas Cowboys, are are using to further evaluate potential prospects entering the NFL Draft each year. Watching and studying film is still the best way to evaluate NFL hopefuls, but analytics such as SPARQ are just another tool to help in the evaluation process. …
With only 16 days to go until the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft, a plethora of information will be coming at you as teams and analysts try to sort out just what will happen as the draft plays out. By this point in the draft process, typically the first overall pick is fairly settled, …
We are only a couple of weeks away from the start of the 2019 NFL Draft. It feels like it’s been a long journey to draft day, but for those in the talent evaluation field, it might not feel long enough. Of course the Cowboys likely won’t have their pick of the board until the second …
The clock is ticking and the 2019 NFL Draft is almost upon us. We are merely weeks away of the big event and things are just now starting to heat up.

When it comes to the Dallas Cowboys and their draft strategy, knowing the prospects they bring in for their allotted 30 pre-draft visits is a really good indicator of the direction they will go come draft day. Over the past several years they’ve targeted these players in the draft, which is why this year I decided …
While the Cowboys spent free agency filling some of their roster’s biggest holes before the NFL Draft, they will almost certainly go into draft day needing to find Ezekiel Elliott a backup running back. Considering they only have two picks in the top 100, spending one of them on a running back who will likely only …
It’s been 17 years since the Dallas Cowboys spent an early draft pick at the safety position. In 2002, Dallas used the eighth overall pick to select Roy Williams out of Oklahoma. Since then, the highest a safety has been drafted by the Cowboys is in the third round. Could the 2019 NFL Draft end that …
The NFL Draft is now 20 days away. Amazing to think that we’ve already reached this point in the offseason. I don’t know about you, but seems like only yesterday that the book was closed on the 2018 season. We’ll be to the regular season in no time. Or maybe, I’m just getting old. Over the …
The 2018 Dallas Cowboys built their success on defense. All season long, a unit that was expected to be decent turned out to be great. In fact, the Cowboys defense finished the year among the NFL’s finest. On the other hand, offense was often a problem. Dak Prescott and company failed time and time again when …
The Dallas Cowboys have their eyes on this year’s safety draft class, bringing in a plethora of prospects for official visits the last few weeks. One of the main safeties which has been linked to them, and has been talked about by many (including myself) as a strong fit within the Dallas Cowboys’ secondary is Washington’s …
The Dallas Cowboys have to be pretty happy with themselves the way their offseason has turned out so far. They’ve done an excellent job of adding some quality free agents and can now approach the 2019 NFL Draft without any glaring “needs”. This pretty much allows them to approach the draft with an open mind as …

Names continue to drop almost daily due to private workouts, Pro Day visits, 30 pre-draft visitors, and “Dallas Day” for local prospects …
If they want to “win” the 2019 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys are going to have to find some hidden gems in later rounds. Without a first round pick, finding talented players who can contribute immediately in 2019 will be tough, but it certainly can be done. Of course, the draft is about more than just …
The Dallas Cowboys will begin gearing up for their pre-draft visits including Dallas Day, their “national 30 visits,” and will make visits to college campuses for pro-days over the next few weeks.
