News: TE Dax Raymond intriguing option for Cowboys

[LocimusPrime]

While the Dallas Cowboys coaching staff will be at the Pro Bowl this week along with six of their players, future members of America’s Team may be starting their path towards Dallas in Mobile, Alabama at the Senior Bowl. This is where Cowboys executives Jerry and Stephen Jones will be found, along with the club’s scouts, working on finding a Cowboys draft-pick-to-be. Dallas has come away with a player who was at the Senior Bowl every year since 2013.

With the younger Jones tipping the team’s early draft priority at tight end, that’s as good a position as any to begin looking at Senior Bowl prospects. One of the most impressive physical specimens in this year’s game is Utah State tight end Dax Raymond.

I would really be disgusted if we wasted our second - fourth rd pick on this dude.
We got plenty of guys like this on the roster all ready

 

[LocimusPrime]

Comeon. This would be a dumb dumb move

 

[StarBoyz83]

Think s and DT are more important

 

[superonyx]

Yea this guy looks like another Schultz, Jarwin type.
I hope we can find a TE that actually produced in college.

 

[OmerV]

I thought Stephen merely said TE would be a priority, not “early” priority.

I like letting the board play out for us.

I feel we can find an impact, heavy rotation, potential starting DT in the second.

TE class is deep, but I feel we should give Jarwin, Schultz a chance. Maybe sign a cheap blocking TE in free agency.

 

[Risen Star]

Dak to Dax?

Have you ever heard of a late priority?

So then we can't take you seriously on the subject.

You give Jarwin and Schultz a chance and add your cheap blocking TE. I want talent.

BeIng a priority just means it is a position they need to address in the draft It doesn’t necessarily mean “early” in the draft.

“Hope is not a strategy.”

As bad as our offense was at times, especially on 3rd down and in the red zone we can’t just hope in house TE’s improve. I’m of the opinion we need a corner stone TE who has 80-90 catch potential, not just a solid 50-60 catch potential. Someone D’s have to gameplane for and focus on.

Being a priority means it's something they feel they really need to do. They think they must upgrade at TE. To think they'll just wait until late in the draft to do it is laughable. You don't treat a priority that way. Not with a late round flyer.

Having TE as a priority to address probably doesn’t mean 6th or 7th round, but it doesn’t necessarily mean 2nd or 3rd round either. I’m sure Stephen could name 3 or 4 positions they have targeted as priorities for the draft, and all of them can’t be addressed with the Cowboys first pick or two.

I like Dax, watched him play a lot. My only issue is he is much older than the average draftee.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I’m a fan of Raymond; he moves really well.

If you look up Ertz’s measurables and compare them to Schultz, they are comparable. However, if you watch the two play you see the fluidity in Ertz that you don’t see in Schultz.

How old is he?

 

[KingintheNorth]

How old is he?

HS senior 2012
2-year LDS mission 2013 and 2014
Utah State freshman 2015
redshirted 2016
Utah State sophomore 2017
Utah State junior 2018

My guess is he'll be 25 or 26 when the NFL season starts.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

How old is he?

He’s a young 33. He has three kids and is married, so you know the money won’t go to his head.

Pass...age and other reasons....did he dominate at the low level of competition?

HUh?? Hell, that dog years in a draft. Couple more years and he'd come close to being one of the oldest players on our team before playing ONE NFL snap.
