There's only 17 players invited to the NFL Draft this year. will Cowboys get one?

[TheMarathonContinues]

Here's the list:

• USC WR Jordan Addison
• Alabama EDGE Will Anderson
• Alabama S Brian Branch
• Georgia DT Jalen Carter
• Boston College WR Zay Flowers
• Oregon CB Christian Gonzalez
• Ohio State OT Paris Johnson
• Kentucky QB Will Levis
• Penn State CB Joey Porter Jr.
• Florida QB Anthony Richardson
• Texas RB Bijan Robinson
• Ohio State WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba
• Ohio State QB C.J. Stroud
• Georgia Tech DL Keion White
• Texas Tech EDGE Tyree Wilson
• Illinois CB Devon Witherspoon
• Alabama QB Bryce Young

You think Cowboys have a shot at anyone here? I've seen Witherspoon and Joey Porter go to us in some mock drafts.....I'd like to think Branch may have a shot but hope not.

Wow, that is low.
Not sure how many are usually invited. but this does not seem good.

Gibbs not there but Robinson is.
Ohio State has 3 players. Bama also.

 

[speedkilz88]

My guess is no their guy is not there.

Flowers is the most likely to possibly be available that they have interest in.

 

[JBS]

Addison will be available at 26

Probably available at 27 too

Yay, a trade down. Pick up an extra 7th for a K.

No. Dallas won’t take Addison

Very unlikely any of those players listed will be a Cowboy.

I see only 2 or 3 names that have any chance at all.

My wife's friend is Jackson Smith-Njigba's mother, and they're definitely going to KC for the draft. That's crazy so few players were invited. Isn't always MUCH, MUCH more?

A lot were told not to attend to avoid the sitting around (Quentin Johnston)

We might have a shot at 2-3 of those guys. Bijan, JSN might make it to 26.

Works for me.

No. Dallas won’t take Addison

I wouldn't bet on that

It was reported that the NFL wants ALL PLAYERS at the draft to get drafted. It is just too devastating to an extremely talented athlete to "not be chosen" on national TV. It might ruin their career. LOL

I don't know what I would do in this situation. Being at the draft is cool, but I think a huge party with family and friends would be the route I'd rather go.

Oh, I got it. I figured they could still go, and if not drafted in the 1st, stick around for the second.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Couple of those guys could make it past day 1.

Something is amiss here.
This 2023 pre-draft period has seen the NFL pundits /draft gurus /talent rankings-ratings groups ----touted this year's tight end eligibles as a "deep = quality class ".
Yet - the league "did not invite" the top prospects at that position?
Mayer, Kincaid, Washinvfon, Laporta, Musgrave, Kraft.

Or....is the top-rated players were offered an invite...but turned it down?

 

[ATXSRT]

The reason the NFL only invited these players is to minimize the awkwardness of having a player (thought to be drafted in the 1st) sit and wait and not be drafted in the 1st. It's an image thing for them, per usual.

 

[JBS]

I wouldn't bet on that

I would
