Jason Garrett doesn't visit a lot of pro days, but the LSU pro day will be one of them this year. If you were Jason Garrett, which LSU prospect would you pay extra special attention to?
The Dallas Morning News reports that Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett plans on attending the LSU pro day next week. While other head coaches are frequent visitors at pro days across the country, Garrett has made himself scarce at these events, attending just two pro days over the last two years.
In 2011, the only pro day Garrett visited was at USC, and after the Cowboys drafted Tyron Smith out of USC, Garrett's visits to college campuses have come to be seen as auspicious harbingers of the Cowboys' draft plans.
Of course, after Garrett visited Alabama's pro day in 2012 and the Cowboys didn't end up picking some of Alabama's top prospects, the prophetic quality of these visits was questioned.
Perhaps this is the year that Garrett restores fan confidence in his pro day visits as he travels to Baton Rouge to attend the LSU pro day. While there, Garrett will likely take a close look at the premier draft prospects like Barkevious Mingo, Kevin Minter and Sam Montgomery, but there are a lot more prospects at LSU who could end up in a Cowboys jersey, even as a UDFA. These are the prospects he'll likely get to see (courtesy of the CBSSports big board):
| Rank | Player | Pos. | Height | Weight | Proj. Round |
| 15 | Barkevious Mingo | OLB | 6-4 | 241 | 1 |
| 29 | Kevin Minter | ILB | 6-0 | 246 | 1-2 |
| 35 | Sam Montgomery | DE | 6-3 | 262 | 1-2 |
| 55 | Eric Reid | FS | 6-1 | 213 | 2 |
| 85 | Tyrann Mathieu | CB | 5-11 | 186 | 2-3 |
| 116 | Chris Faulk | OT | 6-5 | 331 | 3-4 |
| 129 | Lavar Edwards | DE | 6-4 | 277 | 4 |
| 150 | Tharold Simon | CB | 6-2 | 202 | 4-5 |
| 152 | Bennie Logan | DT | 6-2 | 309 | 4-5 |
| 166 | Brad Wing | P | 6-2 | 205 | 5 |
| 198 | P.J. Lonergan | C | 6-3 | 304 | 6 |
| 292 | Michael Ford | RB | 5-10 | 210 | 7-FA |
| 375 | Russell Shepard | WR | 6-1 | 194 | –– |
| 407 | Spencer Ware | RB | 5-10 | 228 | –– |
| 463 | Alex Hurst | OT | 6-1 | 332 | –– |
| 588 | Chancey Aghayere | DE | 6-4 | 267 | –– |
| 612 | Josh Downs | DT | 6-1 | 297 | –– |
| 652 | Drew Alleman | K | 5-11 | 188 | –– |
| 684 | Josh Dworaczyk | OG | 6-6 | 310 | –– |
Personally, I'd love to see Eric Reid in a Cowboys uniform. If you were Jason Garrett, which of these prospects would you pay extra special attention to?
