Voluntary Workouts

3. Jourdan Lewis – There's probably a few scouts or coaches in the building that would rank Lewis No. 1. That's how close it's been and from an upside standpoint, he might have the most out of anyone. Lewis not only has a chance to play right away as a slot corner but let's not remove him from the conversation of starting on the outside. He's got quick feet and seemed to have awareness that is rare for a rookie. 

1. Ryan Switzer – A lot of things were working for Switzer during these offseason practices. Not only was Cole Beasley out the entire summer resting his hamstring, but Lucky Whitehead missed all of the practices, too. That gave Switzer all of the first- and second-team reps in the slot. And then, the nature of these practices are always going to favor skill guys. Either they got up and caught the ball or they didn't. And more often than not, Switzer was doing both. 

2. Chidobe Awuzie – His versatility was on display just about every practice. And he could get even better at camp when the pads are on and he can hit people. That trait alone might force the Cowboys to move him around to the safety position. He's a cornerback right now but don't be surprised if the Cowboys use him some at safety. His work against Dez Bryant this past week, however, was good enough to keep him around at cornerback. There are veteran NFL corners that haven't stuck with Dez that well. 

5. Brian Brown – The Cowboys have drafted two receivers on an already-deep pool of receivers. But that hasn't stopped Brown from making plays. He's consistently made some nice catches each practice and now if he can shine on special teams, he'll have a chance to stick around. 

7. Noah Brown – On more than one occasion, a media member has asked about that "tight end wearing No. 85." That's actually Brown, who might have tight-end size but he's definitely a receiver. After somewhat of a slow start, Brown has come on nicely in the last few weeks with a strong showing at the three-day minicamp. If he continues to progress, it'll make for some interesting decisions at the end of camp. 

Honorable Mention Woody Baron – Came on real strong in the minicamp. A free agent pass-rusher from Virginia Tech, Barron has a lot of hurdles to climb if he wants to make the team. But if he continues his progress into training camp, he'll be tough to cut. 

4. Taco Charlton – Let's get too alarmed about the first-round pick being fourth. Offseaosn practices are designed to showcase the skill players. Now that's not saying Charlton didn't have some chances to make a better impression. To his defense, moving to left end and not having to face Tyron Smith every play has helped him dramatically. Training camp will tell us much more about his ability. 

6. Marquez White – He's really not that far behind the other two drafted cornerbacks. Right now, White still is the third-best of the group, but if he continues to get chances to face some of the top receivers on the team, White could improve his stock dramatically. Those long arms of his have helped him break up some passes in team drills.
