Dallas Cowboys 30 Visit Tracker for NFL Draft: O-Line, Running Backs & 'Need'

Mike Fisher | Apr 8, 2024

FRISCO - The Dallas Cowboys are showing some trends and some biases in their valued pre-NFL Draft 30 Visits, with offensive linemen who have first-round value and running backs who figure right after that playing prominent roles on the so-far list. To wit (with Blogging the Boys' very helpful consensus board rankings listed as well) ...

Traditionally, the Cowboys don't play games with 30 Visits coming here into The Star - maybe one of the reasons Dallas is among the NFL's best in nailing its premium picks. Some guys are prospect they know well, others they are just getting to know. But there are four first-round offensive linemen here. And there are eight running backs total, including at least three who might be second-rounders. (Is Texas' Jonathan Brooks "the best fit''?)

Does the talent match the need? That's part of the process as Dallas picks through the names while using these visits wisely.
