The only pro day Jason Garrett went to last year was USC's.

The Cowboys then turned around and took tackle Tyron Smith in the first round.

The only pro day Garrett will go to this year is Alabama's.

Draw your own conclusions.

Garrett is scheduled to leave the NFL meetings and travel to Tuscaloosa for Thursday's pro day. The Crimson Tide held their first pro day earlier this month, but safety Mark Barron (double-hernia), outside linebacker Courtney Upshaw (knee) and running back Trent Richardson (knee) were unable to take part.

All three are expected to work out for coaches and scouts Thursday.

"I tentatively plan on going there,'' Garrett said. "I don't know who all is going to work out, but I know there were a few guys who were not able to work out on their first official pro day.''

Cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick did work out on Alabama's first pro day and is scheduled to visit the Cowboys Valley Ranch facility next week. Will he work out again Thursday?

"We don't anticipate that, but we'll see,'' Garrett said.

He is a Saban protege so I don't think this is THE indicator that we will draft a player from Alabama.

plus they have about 15 draftable players so I'd probably want to be there if I was a Head Coach.

We've had Kirkpatrick in for a visit and now this proday.

Last year Tyron Smith's proday was the only proday that Garrett attended.

I'm going with we are taking CB in the first if Dre is there or we move up to grab him.

Did we have Tyron Smith in for a visit? I didn't think we did.

It could also mean we are drafting Courtney Upshaw, Mark Barron, or Dont'a Hightower.

Could be.

Or maybe Garrett wants to ask Saban if Michael Brockers is a stud

No we didn't have him in for a visit, I don't think. But Garrett went to exactly one pro day last year and his was it.

Yep.

I don't think he'll put himself in a position where every year he goes to only one Pro Day and we end up drafting that guy.

If it were to be anyone on Alabama give me Upshaw.

Tyron Smith visited last year.

USC’s Tyron Smith, Wisconsin’s J.J. Watt, UCLA’s Rahim Moore, Texas’s Aaron Williams, Colorado’s Nate Solder, Florida’s Mike Pouncey and Nebraska’s Prince Amukamara have all either visited Dallas already, or plan to within the next couple of weeks.

Good info. I didn't remember him visiting.

Mike Jenkins. He neither was brought in for a visit nor was his Pro Day attended by an HC or DC. And yet he was one of our 1st round picks.

But I am slowly and sadly coming to the conclusion that we are not going to draft DeCastro. I'm hoping that maybe this is a smokescreen.

Not Jason Garrett, HC.

Come on down to dallas, Dre. And welcome.
