The Cowboys have had success as of late finding players on the third day of the draft.

In 2016, not only were they able to grab their franchise quarterback in Dak Prescott, they also added Anthony Brown in the sixth round. Other players such as Charles Tapper, Kavon Frazier, and Rico Gathers have a chance to help the team in the near future.

When looking at potential late-round picks for the Cowboys, it's important to look at what type of player the team is interested in selecting. For the most part, Dallas likes to swing for the fences by selecting guys who score well in the SPARQ model or have elite speed.

2016 sixth-round pick Darius Jackson is an example of one of the team's SPARQ projects. Jackson finished with a SPARQ score of 143.3, ranking in the 96.2 percentile of NFL athletes at running back, according to 3sigmaathlete.com.

Another sixth-round pick Brown ran a 4.35 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL combine. The Cowboys want great athletes in the late rounds.

Here's a list of some of the best deep sleepers in the 2017 NFL draft that the Cowboys could target.
