If anything tangible can be deduced by scrutinizing NFL teams’ official pre-draft visits, which can be a questionable exercise since many organizations use visits as smoke screens or for medical rechecks, then we could probably draw a few inferences about the Dallas Cowboys’ draft outlook.

The Cowboys had at least five linebackers among their allotment of 30 visits at their Valley Ranch team headquarters this week, according to Todd Archer of the Dallas Morning News.

Per the report, the Cowboys brought in the following linebackers: Lawrence Sidbury Richmond, Jason Williams (Western Illinois), Jasper Brinkley (South Carolina), Marcus Freeman (Ohio State ) and Larry English (Northern Illinois).

So, one-sixth of the Cowboys’ visits were devoted to one position, which could mean they’ll be looking to add depth at this position. Or it could mean nothing.

Meanwhile, the next highest position team officials brought in for visits was a group of four wide receivers, consisting of: Patrick Turner (USC), Mohamaed Massaqoui (Georgia), Brian Robiskie (Ohio State) and Brandon Tate (North Carolina).

[cowboyjoe]

yep, you cover your bases, to be exactly sure, so when draft time comes around your ready and know what your drafting.

We could be looking at adding a WR in this Draft, or we might pass on WR thinking that our future starting WR is already on the team.

We will look at Safeties, but we may or may not take one.

There is a chance the Cowboys will look for O-line in this Draft and also a chance they might not.

Future QBs could be selected in this upcoming Draft, or the Cowboys might opt to pass on a passer.

I think in this draft, the cowboys will draft an OL, LB, S, and a backup QB.

Whew, I thought we lost our mojo for a minute there.

LOL. Can't lose that mojo. Nothing worse than lost mojo.


Unless you never had it. That's probably worse.

Somehow I knew you would not mention kickers, you left that base un-covered. 0_0

*cough cough* Brandon Everage *cough cough*

 

[cowboyjoe]

*cough cough* Brandon Everage *cough cough*

as far as kickers, they may look at a punter to bring in as an undrated player;

and most of the players that the cowboys draft this year, i think they will be sure that those players in this years draft can contribute on special teams

 

[cowboyjoe]

and keep htat mojo working, espcially for this draft hostile, we need it for sure

 

[Muhast]

I would love Brinkley/tate combo in the draft!

Although I'd MUCH prefer getting Eric Norwood from S.Car next year.

But thats just bc Im good friends with him so he'd hook me up lol

We may either trade up, trade down, or stay put to take a player that we may or may not have invited that plays at a position that may or may not be a need filled.

Or not.......
