As the NFL Draft approaches, speculation surrounding the Dallas Cowboys intensifies. Renowned as the most prominent team both in the league and globally, all eyes consistently fall on Jerry Jones’ roster.
In 2021, the Cowboys secured Micah Parsons with the 12th overall pick, a decision that proved immensely successful for Jones and his team. Parsons has left an indelible mark, amassing 52.5 sacks over four years, and is now in contention to become the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL.
The Cowboys are currently eyeing Tyler Warren from Penn State. Jerry Jones’ squad faces various needs; however, they are in dire need of offensive playmakers to complement Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb.
Competing in a formidable division with the reigning champion Philadelphia Eagles and the competitive Washington Commanders, the team seeks players who can immediately transform their prospects. ESPN’s Matt Miller, in a mock draft, projected Tyler Warren, a tight end from Penn State, as the Cowboys’ first-round choice. Notably, Dallas picked Micah Parsons at No. 12 in 2021 and may once again choose a Nittany Lion.
Warren possesses remarkable abilities to create separation on short routes and excel in gaining yards after the catch. The Penn State standout clinched the John Mackey Award as the nation’s top tight end, with 104 receptions for 1,233 yards and eight touchdowns. While anything can transpire, Warren’s high caliber makes it unlikely for him to fall to the 12th pick.
Should he be available, the Cowboys should promptly select him. However, other teams are also interested in him, with the New York Jets, who pick at No. 7, being heavily associated with Warren. Consequently, if Dallas desires the Penn State star, they will need to put in extra effort.
