It's Prospect Day at the Ranch

The Cowboys will host 20 prospective draftees Thursday at Valley Ranch. So far, ten of the twenty players expected to visit are known. They are:

1. WR Mike Williams of USC

2. DE/OLB Shawne Merriman of Maryland

3. DE/OLB David Pollack of Georgia

4. DE/OLB Justin Tuck of Notre Dame

5. DE/OLB David McMillan of Kansas

6. DT Travis Johnson of Florida State

7. OT Khalif Barnes of Washington

8. FS Brodney Pool of Oklahoma

9. RB Ciatrick Fason of Florida

10. RB Cedric Houston of Tennessee

Update Add these names to the list:

11. DE/OLB Dan Cody of Oklahoma

12. FS Sean Considine of Iowa

13. OT Todd Herremans of Saginaw Valley State

Remember, the names NOT on this list are likely as important as the ones on it. No cornerbacks are here. OT Jammal Brown is not on the list. Neither are WRs Troy Williamson or Mark Clayton.

In other words, all tactics are being tried. Some of the Cowboys' targets are hiding in plain sight. Some are being kept in the dark. All the better to keep the teams around the Cowboys in the draft order guessing.
