I really don’t get the fascination for drafting a TE. Besides the fact that no rookie TE would subplant Witten as the starter, Dallas has a variety of good TEs already. Haven’t we proven through a plethora of drafted TEs during Wittens reign, that drafting a TE is a wasted pick over and over again.
Witten- all around well rounded vet that ranked 7th of all TEs last year. Beating the likes of Jimmy Graham, Kyle Rudolph, Jared Cook, B Watson, etc.. yeah, he’s lost a step but he still has sure hands, finds ways to get open, and blocks better than most TEs in the league. Are we just wanting to replace him bc he’s “old”?
Hanna- is an anomaly, but really hasn’t been giving a real shot at the starter role. Sounds a lot like the rest of the TEs that we’ve drafted and gone on to have long careers elsewhere. But he plays a ton of ST and blocks well for a ‘run dominant’ team.
Swaim- has looked good in the very limited playing time he has.. here again, when has he had a chance to prove he could be better? We don’t have a clue what type of player he could be. So let’s just go draft another one I guess. SMH. Reoccurring theme here.
Jarwin- apparently the coaches thought enough of him to stash him on the practice squad, then call he up late in the season. A big young TE to develop into a possible starter down the road. Again.. talented player, but when will we see these talents? But let’s go draft another one:/
Gathers- the enigma that stunned fans how he was able to stretch the field last preseason before he got his bell rung. Major upside and I personally believe could steal some snaps from Witten this year. But hey, let’s waste another draft pick
Now if someone wants to argue that Witten needs to share some snaps with some of the other talented TEs on our roster.. well, I’m with ya. But Witten isn’t a horrible TE by know means, even if he’s in his twilight years.
I just want to draft a TE in this draft but he won't let us.
