As the NFL Draft quickly approaches, the Dallas Cowboys keep adding names to their "Top 30 visits." According to the latest report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, that includes a couple of big names.
One is wide receiver Jalin Hyatt out of Tennessee and linebacker Trenton Simpson out of Clemson. Per the report, the Cowboys will be hosting both on Tuesday.
Let's start with Hyatt. The Cowboys have an apparent growing interest in him.
So far, we know he was one of their Combine interviews and that Cowboys wide receiver coach Robert Prince led his position drills on the Tennessee Vols Pro Day.
Hyatt would bring that big-play ability to the Cowboys even if some question if he's a finished product for the NFL. Last year, Hyatt scored 15 touchdowns while racking up 1,267 receiving yards.
Such production alongside quarterback Hendon Hooker made Hyatt one of the biggest stars in college football last year. The peak of it came in a heroic performance against Nick Saban's defense.
Hyatt caught six passes for 207 yards and five touchdowns in that game.
"(Tillman) has shown he can line up in the slot or as an outside X receiver. Not an overly dynamic athlete, projects best as an outside receiver or a power slot if you want to give him time to develop more releases," writes A to Z Sports draft analyst Tyler Browning.
Analysts have very varying takes on Hyatt but his name is picking up steam as a potential first-rounder.
Clemson LB Trenton Simpson is another potential first-round player that could alleviate one of the Cowboys' biggest needs which is depth at linebacker.
"Looks like a safety on the field and we even saw him drop and play safety vs Georgia in 2021," writes Browning about Simpson. "Coverage and range make him able to stay on the field for all 3 downs. The only situation I wouldn’t rely on him at the moment is guaranteed run calls."
If the Cowboys target any of these two, they'll likely have to use the 26th overall pick to get them.
