Not only does the off-season conditioning program kick off this week, but the Cowboys will dive into their draft meetings as well with visitors coming through this week for an up close personal look.

You've already seen some names mentioned as visitors: Oklahoma State wide receiver Dez Bryant, Penn State linebackers Sean Lee and Navarro Bowman, LSU wide receiver Brandon LaFell, Kentucky fullback John Conner and Idaho guard Mike Iupati but we've been able to track down a few more:

Penn State defensive end Jared Odrick, Wake Forest cornerback Brandon Ghee, Georgia Tech safety Morgan Burnett and Ohio wide receiver Taylor Price.

Teams are allowed 30 national visits before the draft. These are not workouts, they are strictly meet and greets and the team can do a more thorough medical checkup on a prospect.

The Cowboys can bring an unlimited number of players from the area for an invite-only workout for their "Dallas Day," and they always seem to find some players out of that mix (Patrick Crayton, Brandon Williams, Jacques Reeves).

So how much of an indicator is a visit? Of the visitors we know of from last year, the Cowboys picked Stephen McGee, Mike Hamlin, Jason Williams and Brandon Williams. The year before that Felix Jones and Martellus Bennett came through Valley Ranch before the draft.
