FRISCO, Texas – This week, the Cowboys have begun hosting NFL Draft prospects for 30 visits and Dallas Day at The Star in Frisco, giving the organization an opportunity to get to know collegiate players better, and in some cases see them workout.
Dallas has a history of drafting elite talent that has come through the building on these pre-draft visits, with Micah Parsons and Sam Williams being two examples. It also gives the team chance to get a deeper look at some players they like in the later rounds, with Markquese Bell serving as an example of a 30-visit player who the Cowboys picked up after being undrafted.
The Cowboys also hold a major advantage with Dallas Day, where they can bring in players from local area colleges (SMU, TCU, etc.) and Dallas area natives. These visits do not count against the team's 30-visits with prospects, and with the amount of talent in the North Texas area there's plenty of players to designate for Dallas Day instead of a 30 visit. Here are some of the names that the Cowboys will see this week:
Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona – McMillan is a name that has been mocked to the Cowboys for quite some time now at pick number 12 and makes a lot of sense given the need at wide receiver for a big body, possession receiver. McMillan has a massive catch radius and was incredibly productive at Arizona, and if selected could serve as an elite 1-2 punch with CeeDee Lamb.
Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State (Dallas Day) – Jeanty is the consensus top running back in the 2025 class and considered to be one of the best prospects at the position in recent history. The Frisco native will be a hot commodity, and Dallas would likely need to trade up into the top 10 if they wanted to select him.
Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M – Stewart was probably the biggest overall winner from the NFL Combine where he put up numbers that rivaled those of his Texas A&M counterpart Myles Garrett and jumped immediately into first round conversations. Lack of production is the concern that has typically been associated with Stewart, but his build and athleticism is hard to ignore, and he gets into the backfield more than enough. If the Cowboys want to take a chance on him, they might need to trade up from the 12th pick to do so.
Ollie Gordon, RB, Oklahoma State (Dallas Day) – After a Doak Walker award campaign for the Pokes in 2023, Gordon wasn't as productive in the 2024 season but brings a lot to the table and has proven what he can do when playing his best. If the Cowboys want to take a back on Day 3, Gordon could be an option on the table.
Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas (Dallas Day) – Ewers has been a DFW staple since his days at Southlake Carroll where he was the number one overall recruit coming out of high school and now enters the draft as an intriguing quarterback prospect with good tools and plenty of experience. Dallas just traded for Joe Milton so it's unclear if they'll take a quarterback on Day 2, where Ewers will likely fall.
Damien Martinez, RB, Miami (Dallas Day) – After two years at Oregon State, the Lewisville native transferred to Miami and put up his second career 1,000 yard rushing season in one of the best offenses in college football. Martinez will likely be on the board for the Cowboys in the late Day 2, early Day 3 picture in a running back class that's this deep.
Savion Williams, WR, TCU (Dallas Day) – Williams is a big-bodied, physical receiver who excels at just going up and getting the football in jump ball situations. And unlike most receivers that excel with 50/50 balls, he can do a lot after the catch and in wildcat/jet-sweep situations with the ball in his hands. If the Cowboys want the Marshall, Texas native to be the compliment to CeeDee Lamb they're looking for, they'll likely have to pick him up on Day 2.
Alfred Collins, DT, Texas – It took Collins some time to come along in his development at Texas, but he finished with a strong senior season and still has room to grow. The Cowboys are looking for a big run stopper and Collins can be that and would probably have to be taken at some point on Day 2.
Andrew Mukuba, S, Texas – After transferring to Texas for his final college football season, Mukuba exploded onto the scene as one of the best defensive backs in college football. He's a great tackler and has a knack for picking the ball off. Mukuba is probably going to be off the board early on Day 2 and the Cowboys don't have a big need at safety, so could they see him moving to another spot like nickel?
Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina – Before tearing his ACL in practice early in the 2024 season, Revel was widely considered one of the best cornerbacks in the draft. He's since been cleared from his injury and will still be a top corner prospect that could be off the board late in the first round. If the Cowboys trade back late into the first round, Revel could be in play with the need at cornerback.
Bhayshul Tuten, RB, Virginia Tech – Tuten was one of the biggest winners from the NFL Combine after he ran a blazing 4.32 40-yard dash, the fastest amongst all running backs in the class. On the field, Tuten has record three straight 10+ rushing touchdown seasons and could be a player that catapults into Day 2 because of his speed.
