Cowboys
17 Javon Kinlaw
IDL, South Carolina
Dallas needs some beef up front, and I think this front office is going to be defensive tackle hunting in the spring. Kinlaw can play the one or three technique in this 4-3 scheme, and his upside as a pass rusher is similar to how I graded Chris Jones coming out of Mississippi State, who is now an All Pro for the Kansas City Chiefs. He fits this front office's MO of high character, high ceiling first-round picks.
51 Cowboys
Jeff Gladney
CB, TCU
No team in the NFL will do more homework on TCU senior cornerback Jeff Gladney than the Dallas Cowboys. A local kid, Gladney is almost a virtual certainty to be a Cowboys visitor, and he just so happens to play a position the team desperately needs. His combination of speed, physicality, and ball skills will give the Cowboys an instant playmaker on the perimeter of the defense. I think Dallas is going to fall in love with Gladney. So much so, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s the team’s selection at 17, especially after he blows up the Combine with his athletic testing numbers.
81 Cowboys
Terrell Burgess
S, Utah
The Cowboys passed on several top safety prospects in the 2019 NFL draft, but they will have another opportunity to fill that void in this class. One prospect I think this front office will love is Utah’s Terrell Burgess. The Cowboys ask their safeties to play a lot of man coverage, and Burgess is one of the best pure man defenders at the position in this draft. He can also play deep middle with his range, as well as in the box with his disciplined pursuit and finishing consistency against the run. Burgess’ versatility fits exactly what Dallas has valued at the position in recent years.
113 Cowboys
Devin Duvernay
WR, Texas
Randall Cobb is unlikely to return to the Cowboys in 2020, which means the team is going to need a new slot receiver. One of the priorities this front office has had in acquiring offensive playmakers the last two years has been to add explosive weapons for Dak Prescott. Whether that was Amari Cooper, Tavon Austin, or Tony Pollard, this front office is prioritizing big-play threats and speed. Devin Duvernay is one of the fastest players in this class, but he’s not just a speed demon. He proved this year at Texas to be a reliable safety blanket over the middle for Sam Ehlinger. Duvernay is another local product who will likely receive a lot of attention from the Dallas brass before the draft.

Cowboys
Trevis Gipson
EDGE, Tulsa
A late Senior Bowl addition, Tulsa defensive end Trevis Gipson fits exactly what this front office looks for at the defensive end position. He is a long, aggressive, three-down defender who is productive against the run, but also possesses a ton of athletic traits worth developing as a pass rusher. With Robert Quinn set to hit to the open market, the Cowboys are likely going to draft an edge defender to bolster the depth chart.

Cowboys
A.J. Green
CB, Oklahoma State
I fully expect the Cowboys to double up at the cornerback position in the 2020 NFL draft, considering that Anthony Brown is unlikely to return next season. Oklahoma State senior cornerback A.J. Green is another local product who will likely be a pre-draft visitor of some sort for the Cowboys. His length and ball skills are two traits this front office values highly at the position, and I expect Dallas to have him higher on the board than most teams.
