With the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine well behind us now, the Dallas Cowboys and the rest of the league only have Pro Days and official visits to get better acquainted with this year’s group of the draft hopefuls. The league only allots a total of 30 pre-draft visitors per team, but there are no regulations on the number of local prospects they can entertain.<\/p>\n

Over the years “Dallas Day” has been an effective tool for the Dallas Cowboys prior to the draft each year. Prospects that either grew up in the Dallas area or went to college at TCU, SMU, or North Texas are eligible to attend. This year’s crop of “local” talent could hold some hidden gems for the Cowboys.<\/p>\n

Today, with the help from Nick Harris who did all the tough groundwork, we thought we’d take a look at what a Cowboys draft haul could look like if the only selected eligible prospects from “Dallas Day”. We attempted to slot each player where they are expected to be selected or close to it to make this as realistic as possible.<\/p>\n

Here are (mostly) all of the draft prospects that are eligible for the Dallas Cowboys local visit day in early April.<\/p>\n

In addition to inviting 30 outside prospects for facility visits ahead of the draft, the Cowboys can also host these players without using one of the 30 spots. pic.twitter.com\/MDALGBnfHK<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

1.12 – RB Ashton Jeanty, Boise State<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This, of course, is a no-brainer. The only other choice here would be QB Sheduer Sanders, but even he couldn’t make as big of an impact as Aston Jeanty would with the Cowboys. Jeanty is a Top 5 player in the 2025 draft class and an elite talent. He’d add some much-needed juice to their offense and immediately upgrade their running game.<\/p>\n

2.44 – WR Jack Bech, TCU<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Cowboys <\/picture> <\/span> Photo by Eakin Howard\/Getty Images<\/cite><\/figure>\n

Quinn Ewers anyone? It’s a hard pass for me here, but TE Elijah Arroyo was a strong consideration. In the end though, Jack Bech’s fit with the Cowboys is better here in the second round. His skill set and blue-collar approach to do all of the little dirty jobs that comes with playing WR reminds me of Cooper Kupp.<\/p>\n

3.76 – OT Cameron Williams, Texas<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Cowboys <\/picture> <\/span> Photo by Joe Robbins\/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images<\/cite><\/figure>\n

WR Savion Williams and DT Shemar Turner were in play here, instead we take the chance of drafting Terence Steele’s eventual replacement. While Cameron Williams could potentially challenge for the starting RT job as a rookie, he still probably needs time to further develop his craft before he’s ready for the full-time starting gig.<\/p>\n

5.149 – EDGE Elijah Roberts, SMU<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Cowboys <\/picture> <\/span> Photo by Matthew Visinsky\/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images<\/cite><\/figure>\n

Elijah Roberts is an intriguing defensive line prospect. He’s a bit of the tweeter who actually resembles former Cowboys DT Tyrone Crawford. He could provide much-needed depth at both the DE and DT positions early on as a rookie while the coaching staff figures out where he can be the most impactful.<\/p>\n

5.171 – G Caleb Rogers, Texas Tech<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Cowboys <\/picture> <\/span> Photo by John E. Moore III\/Getty Images<\/cite><\/figure>\n

Caleb Rogers was primarily a right tackle during his time at Texas Tech, but kicking inside to guard at the next level is where he seems to project best. The Cowboys just so happen to have a void to fill at RG with Zack Martin retiring and Rogers could potentially challenge for that job as early as Year 1 in Dallas.<\/p>\n

5.174 – Brashard Smith, SMU<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Cowboys <\/picture> <\/span> Photo by Grant Halverson\/Getty Images<\/cite><\/figure>\n

RB Ollie Gordon was a consideration here, but Brashard Smith is the pick based on what he would bring to the table if drafted by the Cowboys. He’s on the smaller side at just 5’10”, 194-pounds, but was one of the more impressive RBs in the collegiate ranks last season. The WR-turned-RB would make an interesting pairing with Ashton Jeanty.<\/p>\n

6.204 – S RJ Mickens, Clemson<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Cowboys <\/picture> <\/span> Photo by John Byrum\/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images<\/cite><\/figure>\n

RJ Mickens is a versatile defensive back who can play in the box or as a deep safety as well as playing in the slot. He could help the Cowboys secondary in a variety of ways early on as a rookie as a depth piece, quite possibly lessening the blow from Jourdan Lewis leaving via free agency. He has the talent to develop into an eventual starter.<\/p>\n

6.211 – CB Jabbar Muhammad, Oregon<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Cowboys <\/picture> <\/span> Photo by Brandon Sloter\/Image Of Sport\/Getty Images<\/cite><\/figure>\n

Jabbar Muhammad played outside CB at both Washington and Oregon, but at 5’10”, 185-pounds, he will likely have to be a nickel corner at the next level. He could come in and compete for the slot duty recently held by Jourdan Lewis as a rookie, or at the very least provide depth there as well as being a core special teams player.<\/p>\n

7.239 – QB Seth Henigan, Memphis<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Cowboys <\/picture> <\/span> Photo by Cody Glenn\/Getty Images<\/cite><\/figure>\n

Seth Henigan may never be anything more than a backup quarterback in the NFL, but he has the intangibles and football IQ to carve out a solid career as a QB2 in the league. He could help fill the void left by Cooper Rush as Dak Prescott’s primary backup now that he’s decided to jump ship, signing with the Baltimore Ravens in free agency.<\/p>\n

7.247 – DT Jared Harrison-Hunte<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Cowboys <\/picture> <\/span> Photo by Michael Hickey\/Getty Images<\/cite><\/figure>\n

Jared Harrison-Hunte (6’4″, 294) is an intriguing developmental defensive tackle prospect who could be a solid rotational piece along the Cowboys defensive line. He’s a disruptive player who is at his best in an attacking scheme as a 3-technique, which fits what Matt Eberflus could be looking for at the position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
