Cowboys 30 Visits List: 10 1st-Round NFL Draft Prospects?
FRISCO - The 30 Visits List in the NFL is mostly about prospects that teams like the Dallas Cowboys already like as it relates to the NFL Draft. But there can be some slyness and some sleight-of-hand and some just-in-case as well. ...
The "30 Visits'' are coming up. And we're naming names.
The 2022 list so far has 28 guys on it (hat-tip Matt Miller) and it now includes three wide receivers who can be first-round guys ... and by the time we get to 30 there might be 10 first-round level guys.
With Dallas picking at 24, why invite guys likely to go way before that? Throw other teams off the scent of true intentions? Deep research because ya never know? To the list. ...

We also know that dating all the way back to before the Scouting Combine in Indy, personnel boss Will McClay and his scouting department were spending a great deal of time focusing on available wide receivers.
And we know that the Cowboys sent head coach Mike McCarthy and defensive coordinator Dan Quinn to Penn State to watch some of Micah Parsons' old friends - at least four of them draft-worthy on the defensive side of the play - go through their Pro Day. And that McCarthy, Quinn and McClay were all at the Alabama Pro Day.
Are the folks inside The Star hinting at their plans for the April 28-30 NFL Draft. Jerry and Stephen Jones aren't exactly hiding their O-line and wideout thoughts. But there is research to be done and visits to be had before even they really know.
