The Dallas Cowboys definitely work off their own board when choosing draft prospects. What they do doesn’t always match up with what the media, fans, and analysts think they should do.

Below are five draft prospects that could catch some off guard if the Cowboys called their name during the draft.
1. QB Bo Nix, Oregon
Nix is the first quarterback on most scouts list at the top of the second-tier QB’s. His time at Auburn was a mixed bag but he managed to elevate his reputation with a move into the PAC-12.
