Over the years, the Dallas Cowboys use of their 30 pre-draft visits has often revealed what the team was planning to do. That was certainly true for 2023. In the NFL draft, the team would take four players who came to the Star to meet the staff, and sign one additional visitor as a UDFA. Here are the new rookies who already knew the way to team headquarters:
- 1st round DT Mazi Smith
- 3rd round LB DeMarvion Overshown
- 4th round DE Viliami Fehoko
- 6th round (via trade) CB Eric Scott
- UDFA LB Durrell Johnson
With the Cowboys using eight picks after trading for the one that netted Scott, this means that half their draft class were players they wanted to take a closer look at.
