[Hardline]

Tight end has been a pretty popular topic of late.
Here is a great article that should generate some discussion .

Smith Jr. would make a really nice H.

Some team will find a way to attack with him. Not this one, but someone.

 

[CATCH17]

I haven't watched much of the draft stuff yet but that guy is a clear talent.

One word.....TJ Hockenson TE Iowa.

 

[Mr_437]

Yea, Albert O looks like a great fit for DAL.

 

[KingintheNorth]

One word.....TJ Hockenson TE Iowa.

It's like 6 words, buy yeah...

I don't think he will make it to the Cowboys eventual draft slot. Fant probably won't either.

I watched some of his YouTube highlights after looking at his teammate Noah Fant.
He looks like the real deal.

Agreed, think we'll have to move up if we want Fant, Hockenson, or Irv Smith, Jr. At least to the 40 to 45 range from our probable 52 to 56 range pick.

 

[HanD]

There should be quality in 2nd and 3rd rounds. I hope we are able to get one of fant, hockenson, Smith or okuwenueg........

I’m willing to move up especially for Hockenson. We don’t want a puffed up WR who can’t block. I’d give up 4 to go get him. I’d give next year’s 3 possibly if I had to.

Hockenson is a RS Sophomore. Pretty rare for those guys to come out.

Great, get him young.

I wouldn't mind Caleb Wilson, that kid is nasty because plays the more traditional TE role already. Catches and blocks.

 

[John813]

I have a good feeling if the TE you like hasn't lined up in a pro style offense/hasn't shown that he can block, then we aren't interested.

Which is why I think we may double dip and take Kaden Smith depending on which round he falls to.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Get a dynamic pass-catching TE that can threaten a secondary. Blocking can be taught and developed.

I don't want to see more plodders types on our roster.

Thanks for the link OP! I have never stumbled upon this site before and I really like it! So thank you!!

If this mock is accurate, I would be even more ecstatic over the Cooper trade than I already am...which is crazy ecstatic!!!

[JIMMYBUFFETT]

Irv Smith Jr. please.

telling you all

Kendall Blanton, TE, Missouri
Height: 6-6. Weight: 260.
Projected 40 Time: 4.77.
Projected Round (2019): 3-5.

11/3/18: So far this year, Blanton has 15 receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown.

8/28/18: According to team sources, some at Missouri like Blanton more than Albert Okwuegbunam. Blanton goes under the radar because Okwuegbunam is such a dynamic receiver, but Blanton is said to be a good receiver in his own right. He is a well-rounded player and a solid blocker. In 2017, Blanton caught six passes for 138 yards and a touchdown. He had 16 receptions for 161 yards and three scores as a sophomore\

and should be there

Wilson is my choice too. Tall and quick, good blocker and real downfield threat. He can add 10 LBs easily.
