We know the Cowboys traditionally whittle down the 450 or so draft-eligible players to 130 or so names that adorn their final draft board, and which the war-room cameras have learned to studiously avoid in recent years.
A week before the 2022 NFL Draft we posted a BTB draft prediction contest. The challenge was fairly straightforward: we asked our members to submit a list of up to 30 players, irrespective of round, that they thought the Cowboys would draft or sign as undrafted free agents. Each correct name predicted, be it a draft pick or a subsequent UDFA signing, was awarded one point
We kicked things off with predictions from three of our front page writers, with mixed results:
David Howman: 5 (Tyler Smith, De (Sam) Williams, Damone Clark, Devin Harper, Marquese Bell)
Danny Phantom: 2 (De (Sam) Williams, Jake Ferguson)
OCC: 2 (De (Sam) Williams, Devin Harper)
Ed note: Since the ballots were for Sam Williams, we included that reference so it would line up with the votes.
