The Dallas Cowboys are heading into the upcoming PML Draft with momentum, a strong core roster, and a clear vision for how to keep building a championship-caliber team. Under Head Coach Cody Hirsch, the Cowboys have struck a balance of star power and developing talent, but there’s always room to reinforce critical areas. Two names generating significant buzz around Dallas’ draft war room are Colorado wide receiver Jordyn Tyson and Alabama offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor.
Both players bring unique skill sets that could fill important needs for the Cowboys — one as an explosive weapon to complement an already potent passing game, the other as a foundational piece up front to protect the quarterback and pave the way for the run game.
Jordyn Tyson: A Playmaker with Game-Breaking Potential
Wide receiver is not a glaring need for Dallas, thanks to the dominance of CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, but in today’s PML landscape, a third reliable weapon can elevate an offense from great to unstoppable. That’s where Jordyn Tyson comes in.
At Colorado, Tyson proved to be a dynamic receiver with big-play ability. His acceleration off the line of scrimmage and ability to separate vertically make him a nightmare for defensive backs. Tyson has shown not just straight-line speed, but also savvy route running and reliable hands, which would give Dallas a dangerous slot option or a rotational deep threat.
Adding Tyson into the Cowboys’ scheme would give defensive coordinators fits. With Lamb commanding double coverage and Pickens stretching the field on the outside, Tyson would consistently find himself matched up against lesser corners. His ability to turn short receptions into chunk plays fits perfectly with the Cowboys’ philosophy of creating mismatches and capitalizing on explosive opportunities.
Perhaps most importantly, Tyson would provide insurance against injuries to the receiving corps, while giving quarterback flexibility in spreading the ball around. The Cowboys know that in the PML, depth at receiver can be the difference between a playoff push and an early exit.
Kadyn Proctor: A Building Block in the Trenches
While wide receiver is a luxury, offensive line is always a necessity. The retirement of Zack Martin left big shoes to fill, though rookie guard Tyler Booker has done a fantastic job stepping up. Still, investing in a young, high-upside tackle like Kadyn Proctor could secure Dallas’ offensive front for years to come.
Proctor, a massive presence at 6’7”, 330 pounds, was one of the most coveted offensive line prospects coming out of Alabama. His blend of size, athleticism, and power makes him a prototypical NFL tackle prospect. What sets Proctor apart is his ability to both anchor against power rushers and move his feet well enough to handle speed off the edge — a rare combination that makes him scheme-versatile.
For the Cowboys, Proctor could slot in as the long-term successor to Tyron Smith. While Smith has been the bedrock of Dallas’ offensive line for over a decade, injuries and age make it clear the team must prepare for the future at left tackle. Proctor’s skill set would allow him to learn behind one of the league’s best while also being capable of contributing early if called upon.
Adding Proctor would also strengthen the Cowboys’ run game, giving Jaydon Blue and the backfield a reliable force on the edge to create lanes. With Dallas’ offense built on balance between explosive passing and efficient rushing, Proctor would be a cornerstone piece to keep the unit thriving.
Draft Strategy: Balancing Luxury and Necessity
The Cowboys’ draft approach could come down to a simple question: luxury or necessity? Tyson represents a chance to turn a strength into an overwhelming advantage, creating arguably the best receiving trio in PML. Proctor, meanwhile, addresses one of the most important long-term needs for any franchise — protecting the quarterback and building dominance in the trenches.
The decision will likely hinge on draft position. If Tyson slides into the middle rounds, the Cowboys may see him as a can’t-miss playmaker to bolster the offense. If Proctor is available when Dallas is on the clock, his positional value and long-term importance may be too great to pass up.
Coach Hirsch and the front office have shown patience and precision in their roster construction, and this draft looks like another opportunity to strengthen both the present and the future. Whether it’s the electrifying talent of Jordyn Tyson or the foundational presence of Kadyn Proctor, the Cowboys have positioned themselves to add another key piece to their championship puzzle.
The Big Picture
Dallas already has the talent to contend for a Super Bowl in PML. But great franchises aren’t built on star players alone — they’re built on depth, development, and smart drafting. The possible addition of Tyson or Proctor would check all three boxes.
One would give the Cowboys a dangerous new toy for an offense that’s already humming. The other could secure the offensive line for the next decade. Either way, the message is clear: the Dallas Cowboys are not standing still. They’re planning, preparing, and positioning themselves to dominate not just this season, but for many seasons to come.
