Who is rising & falling heading into Cowboys Training Camp?
Inside The Star Inside The Star

With minicamp week over, the Cowboys are now off until late July, but we got a little bit of interesting information as they leave for a month’s break before they return for the fun stuff and things really start to heat up.

We have seen George Pickens show up to camp, and we have seen a few battles already forming before we see them get into full swing in late July.

With that said, I have a few guys I think you should buy stock on, and a few players that you should sell right now if you can.

This does not mean I will be right, but these are my thoughts, and you don’t have to agree, and if you don’t drop a comment on who you will add to this list.

Stock Up

Any Backup Tackle

Right now, it seems like a battle for either the starting left tackle or right tackle job is wide open.

As it sits, Tyler Guyton is the starting-left tackle and Terence Steele is the starting right tackle, but both Nate Thomas and Drew Shelton, the 4th round pick out of Penn State in April, are making some noise.

It would not shock me if one of these two guys ended up as the starting tackle by the time that September rolls around.

When you take a look at Pro Football Focus, the Cowboys OL led the league with a total of 133 penalties.

The biggest issue is clearly Tyler Guyton and Ternece Steele. Guyton had 7 and Steele had 6. Both of them, as of right now, are projected to be on the starting line once again this year, and they need Guyton to make a year three leap.

Caelen Carson

As bad as it sounds, yes, Caelen Carson is trending up heading into training camp. DaRon Bland, who I will talk about in a bit, worked with the rehab team all last week during minicamp.

I never thought, after what he showed us last year, he would be on my list of trending up, but the problem is, they have nobody else!

Cowboys HC Brian Schottenheimer mentioned WR CeeDee Lamb, DE Malachi Lawrence and CB Caelen Carson as guys who have made plays so far in OTAs.

Revel was poor when he returned from his torn ACL a year ago, and guys like Devin Moore are also injury-prone.

The best cornerback on the football team right now is honestly probably Cobie Durant. Caleb Downs is going to play a little bit of Nickle, but I am not counting him yet because we don’t know if he is going to play just that or switch between that and safety, which is what he should be doing.

Let’s see what happens when training camp gets here at the end of July.

Stock Down

DaRon Bland

They are banking on guys that have issues with injuries just being able...
