FRISCO — The Cowboys went with only defensive players through the first two days of the NFL draft. It begged the question from one reporter on Friday night: How is offensive coordinator Klayton Adams holding up?
"Klayton's doing great, man," Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said on Friday night. "He's there for the drinks post draft and he understands that George Pickens was the third pick in the draft."
Adams might get more active in the war room on Saturday, however.
The Cowboys are scheduled to have four more picks, including three in the fourth round. They'll then wrap up with a seventh-round selection, barring any other trades.
Here are 10 prospects the Cowboys could target on Day 3:
Miami cornerback Keionte Scott: Schottenheimer made it clear that they would go for the best possible players on Saturday. Does that actually mean at a position where they seemingly already addressed? Yes, the Cowboys have Caleb Downs, but Scott might be the best player left on the board. He, too, could be a versatile corner piece in Christian Parker's secondary if they don't deem him redundant.
Indiana wide receiver Elijah Sarratt: The Cowboys will likely take a receiver in this draft. They need to add some depth and competition after losing Jalen Tolbert. What about a reigning national champion? Sarratt was a productive receiver at Indiana with contested-catch ability. He could be someone worth considering.
Arizona State cornerback Keith Abney II: The likely spot for another defensive back addition would be an outside corner. Abney, a projected third-round pick, would fit the bill. The Waxahachie alum had six career interceptions in three seasons.
Stephen F. Austin cornerback Charles Demmings: What we said about Abney can be applied to Demmings. Demmings was a productive player for the Lumberjacks who stayed despite lucrative NIL offers from much bigger schools. He's someone that would surely impress in meetings with teams, as well.
Texas A&M offensive tackle Dametrious Crownover: The Cowboys could use some more tackle competition. Crownover, a 6-foot-7 prospect, started 26 games the last two seasons for Texas A&M, which had one of the best offensive lines in the country during that time. He's projected to be a fourth-round pick by NFL.com.
NC State tight end Justin Joly: There was a run on tight ends in Day 2. If the Cowboys want to draft one it might have to come early. Joly is one of the best remaining. He's an athletic tight end who finished as a first-team All-ACC selection last year.
TCU linebacker Kaleb Elarms-Orr: The Cowboys already added one TCU linebacker this weekend. Could they make it two? Cowboys co-owner Stephen Jones indicated they weren't done adding to their linebacker position. Elarms-Orr, just like Winters, is an athletic and productive linebacker who could also play well on special teams.
Oregon wide receiver Malik Benson: Having connections doesn't hurt. Could that help a guy like Oregon wide receiver Malik Benson end up on the Cowboys? Dallas wide receivers coach Junior Adams used to coach for the Ducks. He would know that Benson is someone who could help out as a deep threat and a special teams player.
Louisville defensive tackle Rene Konga: Konga is an intriguing seventh-round option for the Cowboys. They could use some defensive tackle depth. Konga impressed with his athleticism. He visited the Cowboys. So far, the Cowboys are three-for-three on selecting players who visited in the pre-draft process. Could Konga join the group?
Tennessee cornerback Jermod McCoy: Jerry Jones said on Friday that they wouldn't target a potential redshirt player in the fourth round. But what about later? McCoy is a top-15 talent that's fallen to Day 3 over concerns about his knee. If the Cowboys traded back into the fifth or sixth round, and McCoy is still there, would they take the risk?
