NFL Draft

What’s To Be Learned From Cowboys Pre-Draft Visits?

Each year as the NFL Draft approaches the internet becomes flooded with mock drafts and predictions for what each team is going to do come Draft night. Everyone wants that insider information or analysis to figure out who may be joining their favorite team. Sometimes, the information is right in front of our faces, we just have to analyze and accept it. The NFL allows teams to host 30 prospects on official visits prior to draft day. Full lists of which players have and have not visited teams are rarely released, but through various media outlets we have been able to come up with a list of 28 prospects who have visited Valley Ranch so far.

Beyond The Clock: Cowboys Undrafted Wonder, Tony Romo

For our final undrafted wonder of the Beyond The Clock series, we pay tribute to one of the greatest players in NFL history to ever go undrafted. My personal favorite Dallas Cowboy, number 9, Tony Romo. Romo attended the 2003 NFL Combine and although he peaked some scout’s interests, he went undrafted. 13 quarterbacks were drafted in 2003. Four in the first round.

Cowboys on the Clock: Scott Appleton, #4 Overall

Twenty seven days ago, we embarked on a countdown towards the 2016 NFL draft here on Inside The Star. Cowboys on the Clock has taken a look at the most recent first round pick the team has made corresponding to the number of days remaining until the draft. While the number 4 certainly means a lot to Dallas in the upcoming draft, as they will be selecting with the fourth overall pick for just the second time, it did not carry all that much meaning back in 1964. Reason being, the player selected – Texas’ Scott Appleton – never saw a snap in the silver and blue. Scott Appleton Appleton’s rights were traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers following his selection by the Cowboys.

2016 Cowboys Draft: Possible Mock Trade Scenarios #9

This is the ninth of a ten part series looking at possible trade scenarios for the Cowboys. For each scenario, we will look at possible trades and then explore mock drafts that could occur from the results of the trade(s). For our ninth article let’s look at a scenario where the Cowboys eventually trade down to the latter half of the first round. Somewhere around 20. There really does not seem to be one team that has enough second and third round picks to make this a good trade, but the Cowboys could do this by trading back twice in the first round.
