1. Hunter Luepke, RB/FB, North Dakota State
The Cowboys have not rostered a full-back since Jamize Olawale in 2019, but head coach Mike McCarthy did have fullbacks during his time in Green Bay and the running back room is currently one in flux, with the departure of franchise running back Ezekiel Elliot and last year's leading rusher Tony Pollard rehabbing from injury.At 6-1 and 230 pounds, Luepke's size and versatility as a blocker cannot be found elsewhere on the roster and he could fit nicely with Mike McCarthy's offseason mantra of wanting the Cowboys to become more efficient running the football.
2. Isaiah Land, LB, Florida A&M
Land put up eye popping production during his career at Florida A&M, posting 25.5 tackles for loss and 19 sacks in 2021 as a hybrid edge rusher/linebacker. However, at only 6-3 and 236 pounds, Land will have to prove he can transition to a full time off-ball role for the Cowboys. If Land can stand out on special teams, he could help plug holes there, as a linebacker, and as a sub-package pass rusher as well.3. Earl Bostick Jr., OT, Kansas
A former tight end, Earl Bostick Jr. transitioned to offensive line where he started 25 games at left tackle over the past two seasons for the Jawhawks. An athletic big man, Bostick Jr. has the intriguing movement skills that are worth bringing into a camp to try and develop with NFL coaching. Bostick Jr. only played left tackle in college, but he fits the Cowboys front office profile as a player that they could try to flex at both guard and tackle.If Bostick Jr. can turn some his flashes into consistent play during training camp, and show some tackle/guard flexibility, he has an outside shot of securing a roster spot.
4. Myles Brooks, CB, Louisiana Tech
Brooks fell out of the draft due to questions about his athleticism, long speed (4.50 40 yard dash), and level of competition (only one year at FBS level after transferring from Stephen F. Austin), but is a good fit for Dan Quinn's defense.
Brooks best traits, his instincts and ball skills, could help him standout in training camp, and if he can prove his special teams value, he could be in the thick of the competition for the last defensive back spot with aging veteran C.J. Goodwin and sixth round pick Eric Scott Jr.
5. David Durden Jr, WR, West Florida
Checking in at 6-1, 204 pounds, with impressive testing numbers, including a 4.46 40 yard dash.No other receiver on the roster has Durden's combination of size, speed, blocking ability, and return ability (17.7 yards per punt return and one touchdown last season) which will give him a chance of locking in the last receiver spot on the 53 man roster.
