Cowboys Visit Tracker for the Draft

Hey folks, I started this exercise a couple years ago in order to give myself a better idea of who the Cowboys might be drafting. The Cowboys are notorious for drafting players they have visited with. This may sound crazy, but a lot of teams try and downplay their interest in certain players by feigning disinterest.

​

This year I had to use a slightly different database than previously. I always use Walter Football for the visit tracker. They seem to be the best single source for tracking this stuff. I used to use CBS Sports because it was easiest to get all the players, but they no longer give round projections for their players like they used to. This year, I was forced to use Walter for round projections as well. If a player was not on Walter, then I used draftanalyst.com as they have a pretty large database. Please don't yell at me because your guy is poorly ranked (or ranked too high) because I just compiled the info, I didn't create it.

Thank you. The fact that you have to ask to not be yelled at is the most reddit thing ever.
