We have a special challenge for you today:
Submit a list of up to 30 players, regardless of round, that you think the Cowboys can draft or sign as undrafted free agents. How you arrive at your pick is entirely up to you. You can detonate the first three rounds with bombs; You can focus on specific situations; You can look at the list of players who have been invited by the Cowboys to top 30 state visits or local “Dallas Day” workouts; You can even add players who have been interviewed for Cowboys in the group; Anything goes – but you have to stick to the 30 player limit.
One interesting aspect of working with a 30-name roster is that it forces you to make some hard choices: Do you pick a wide receiver each round to cover all of your bases; Will you go out on a limb for athletic excellence with mediocre college output; What is your stance on midfielders? How many defensive linemen do you think the Cowboys can hold their roster; Will the offensive lineman increase or decrease your chances of getting more snaps right? Lots of questions that you will need to tackle as you reduce the names on the board.
You might think this is a pointless exercise, as there is no way to pick some name from the pool of 400 or so eligible players the Cowboys are likely to choose from. But this is not necessarily the case.
- in the year 2013member of BTB 23 He struck out six players who ended up with the Cowboys after the draft.
- in 2014BTB members Cactus days And from dallas Hit five Cowboys draft picks or UDFA signings.
- in 2015member of BTB Chad Loveland He caught seven players right, including a top four running back and two free agents.
- in 2016Joey Ickes got six right tackles, even if only two of them were draft picks. Although the Cowboys have nine draft picks, only two are, Big Daddy And Markitherchygot four draft picks right.
- in 2017member of BTB boys He got four players right, and 21 other entrants finished second with three correct choices each.

Danny went big in the first round with seven odds, increasing his chances of getting at least one pick right. He’s really light in the second round with only three picks; Is he expecting some kind of business action?

I’m all about playing to the system, so I’m hoping to increase my chances by increasing the chances of the Cowboys getting great interactions with them during the draft process — and I don’t think the co-op interview alone is important enough.

David adds seven prospects with whom the Cowboys had no known interaction; Will this risk pay off? David had five picks last year, so he might know something that Danny and I don’t.
