Besides the top three draft picks, are there one or two other specific rookies you can't wait to see in camp? Why?Bryan Scott/Glen Rock, PA

Mickey:Definitely running back Jaydon Blue, selected with the first of two fifth round draft picks. At the Texas Pro Day workout I attended, watched him go 4.28 in the 40. This guy has elite speed. Can't wait to see him in training camp with the ball in his hands. Can you just imagine Blue at running back with the likes of CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and KaVontae Turpin going three wide, with maybe Jake Ferguson running one of those seam routes up the guy. Hewy, if this was track, this would be some kind of 4x100m relay team right. Now at 5-9, 196, not sure Blue would be a 20-carry guy each game, but man spotting that kind of speed, and with the way he catches the ball out of the backfield, this rookie should be a huge bonus to this offense. Can't wait to see him in pads.

Tommy:I'm excited to see how Brian Schottenheimer and his staff want to use fifth round pick Jaydon Blue. I've covered Blue since his junior season at Klein Cain high school in the Houston area, and he's always been incredibly explosive. At Texas, it was increasingly apparent that he could be a real mismatch and weapon out of the backfield in the receiving game, so I'm interested to see if the Cowboys look to do the same with him and if they can work on fixing his ball security issues from the past.
