"We spend probably three solid weeks of having our entire staff together, our decision makers, our scouting staff, parts of the coaching staff, putting our board together. By the time you put that draft board together it's a culmination of sometimes as much as two years' worth of work getting that together."
"The combine provides an additional set of data, where good or bad performance will lead to a further review of a prospect, and the list of prospects gets tweaked and adjusted where the new information warrants this."
The Dallas Cowboys begin draft preparation with a list of 1,100-1,200 potential prospects, which expands by 300-400 players during the season. By mid-October, scouts start narrowing down the list, incorporating data from college bowl games and All Star games. In February, they assess how prospects fit the team's needs, adjusting based on combine performances. Pro Days in March allow for further evaluation, leading to a draft board in April, finalized after three weeks of collaboration among the entire staff, reflecting two years of work.
