MOBILE, Ala. -- The Senior Bowl has been good to the Dallas Cowboys in recent years. Dak Prescott and Zack Martin tested their talents in Mobile before being selected by the Cowboys in the NFL.

The Cowboys hope that this year's crop of Senior Bowl prospects will bear similar fruit. Luckily for them, Senior Bowl executive director Jim Nagy has done an excellent job amassing one of the most talented crops of prospects in recent memory.

Every player descends on Mobile with the hopes of improving his NFL draft stock. However, only a few players truly succeed in that endeavor. With that being said, here are five players who are off to an awfully good start:

Chuma Edoga, USC, OT

Even though his tape was rough at times while starting at right tackle for USC, Edoga has looked extremely comfortable in pass protection at left tackle this week.

Measuring in at just under 6-foot-3 and 303 pounds, Edoga is on the smaller side for an offensive tackle, but his 34-7/8-inch arms more than make up for it.

Edoga isn't without his warts, as his base tends to get too narrow at the point of attack, but his movement skills and length has impressed thus far. Edoga can mirror defenders around the edge well, and his long arms allow to him to initiate contact and disrupt the timing of a defender's pass rush. Edoga has paired his length with impressive hand timing and placement, which allows him to effectively stymie rushers in one-on-one pass rush drills.

When Edoga did miss with his initial strike, his lateral movement ability allowed him to recover or push the pass rusher past the pocket.

Nice rep from Chuma Edoga at LT. With the focus on Risner, Dillard and others, Edoga has a chance to show his best. I liked what I saw when watching his games. pic.twitter.com/3wXoqKoU8z — Josh Norris (@JoshNorris) January 23, 2019

Boston College's Zach Allen came in as one of the highest regarded defensive linemen attending the Senior Bowl, and Edoga shut him down rather easily.

Likely a Day 3 pick, Edoga is the type of player you can stash at the end of a roster in the hopes that he can develop into an effective swing tackle. Even though Edoga would probably never challenge Tyron Smith or La'el Collins for a starting tackle job, his movement ability and length make him an ideal project for Cowboys offensive line coach Marc Colombo to develop over the next couple years.

Penny Hart, WR, Georgia State

With Cole Beasley scheduled to become a free agent, the Cowboys would be wise to invest in a replacement in the 2019 NFL draft if he isn't re-signed. Luckily for Dallas, there appears to be a plethora of effective slot receivers in this year's draft class.

While everyone fawns over UMass' Andy Isabella, Georgia State's Penny Hart has arguably been just as good and will likely come at a reduced price. After measuring at 5-foot-8 and 180 pounds, Hart needed to impress from the slot. And boy did he.

Hart's outstanding route-running has been on full display this week. He's a blur coming off the line of scrimmage, which allows him to quickly eat up the cornerback's cushion from off coverage. Moreover, Hart has been excellent at creating separation on the top of his routes. Hart's routes are incredibly smooth, crisp and absent of unnecessary movement, which allows him to take advantage of any mistake a cornerback makes.

He did have one drop over the middle during Tuesday's practice, but overall, Hart has shown reliable hands, impressing with his ability to snatch targets away from his frame, which maximizes his catch radius. This is incredibly important for smaller receivers who don't have the size to box out defenders at the catch point.

On top of his ability as a slot, Hart also brings some return ability to the table, an area the Cowboys desperately need more production from.

If the Cowboys are looking for a mid-round slot option who is refined and ready to make an impact, Hart is one of the top options.

Isaiah Buggs, DT, Alabama

Measuring in at 6-foot-2 and 295 pounds, Alabama defensive lineman Isaiah Buggs is a dense wrecking ball on the interior defensive line.

Thus far, Buggs hasn't disappointed, as he's been disruptive thus far in Mobile. Buggs boasts incredible power at the point-of-attack, which allows him to hold his ground at the point-of-attack against the run or collapse the pocket as a pass rusher.

During the one-on-one pass rush drills, Buggs showed an impressive spin move to complement his power-based rushing attack.

Antwaun Woods played well throughout the season, Caraun Reid came on late and Maliek Collins showed drastic improvement against the run. However, Dallas' interior defensive line was exposed against the Indianapolis Colts and Los Angeles Rams. The Cowboys need to infuse more talent into the defensive tackle positions, and Buggs would be a great opt on Day 2 of the 2019 NFL draft.

Buggs' power and refined technique at the point-of-attack give him the flexibility to play the nose (one-technique defensive tackle) or under tackle (three-technique defensive tackle) positions in Rod Marinelli's defense. That would make Buggs a valuable member of Dallas' interior defensive line rotation.

Bruce Anderson, RB, North Dakota State

Rod Smith is scheduled to become a free agent, and it wouldn't be surprising if he left Dallas to find a team where he could get more opportunities on offense. If that does become the case, the Cowboys are going to need to invest in a backup running back in the NFL draft or free agency.

If the draft is the route the Cowboys front office decides to go, North Dakota State's Bruce Anderson would be an excellent choice on Day 3 of the 2019 NFL draft.

While it's difficult to evaluate a running back's ability as a ball carrier during these All-Star practices, Anderson has thrived as a receiver out of the backfield. He ran impressive routes, demonstrating the ability to create separation with his crisp route running. While most running backs tend to round their cuts at the breakpoint, Anderson was sharp with his cuts, making it difficult for defenders to make a play on the ball.

On top of that, he showed the ability to catch the ball away from his frame and over his head. Even when forced to make contested catches with contact, Anderson showed well.

Measuring in at 5-foot-11 and 209 pounds, Anderson could be a nice change-of-pace back for the Cowboys whose receiving ability is a valuable weapon on third downs when Ezekiel Elliott needs a breather.

Daylon Mack, NT, Texas A&M

If the Cowboys opt to continue their strategy of waiting until the later rounds to invest in a nose tackle, Texas A&M's Daylon Mack is as good of a choice as any.

Measuring in at 6-foot-1 and 327 pounds during the Senior Bowl weigh-ins, Mack is a stout player who is able to generate incredible force at the point of attack.

As a pass rusher, Mack is primarily a power rusher who uses his powerful lower body and deliberate hands to collapse the pocket with bull rushes (just ask Alabama center Ross Pierschbacher).

On top of that, Mack also showed the beginning stages of an effective arm-over move to counter offensive linemen who try to sit on his power rushers. Having said that, Mack does tend to drift too far outside when using his arm over, giving offensive linemen the ability to recover when initially beat.

Mack needs to take a tighter path after winning with his hands, or he's going to struggle with the effectiveness of his arm-over move. Still, it was nice to see that Mack is attempting to deepen his pass-rush repertoire, and it could pay off in the future.

Mack is at his best, however, when defending the run. Mack plays with excellent pad level, which allows him to continuously win the leverage battle at the point-of-attack. On top of that, Mack is deliberate with his hands, allowing him to consistently attain superior hand placement at the point-of-contact.

Mack's low center of gravity and effective hand placement allow him to reset the line of scrimmage against single blocks and hold his ground against double teams.

Mack doesn't have the positional flexibility of Buggs, so he would play primarily as a nose tackle in Dallas' defense. While he likely wouldn't add much to Dallas' interior defensive line as a pass rusher, he would be a great asset against the run, as he can hold his ground at the point-of-attack while occupying double teams. This would allow Dallas' linebackers to play to their strengths and flow to the ball without being immediately encumbered by offensive linemen climbing to the second level.
