I'm Predicting Very Early Schoonmaker will be our Travis Kelce

[big dog cowboy]

His stats and chain moving point toward the opposite. High level ability to get open.

Stats were inflated because of the high volume of pass he got. That was driven by lack of WR depth.

 

[Typhus]

What characteristics make him elite? Ferguson and he appear to be the same size. So I’m guess speed and vertical?

I’m not disputing you (at all) just would like to know more about why he’s elite. Thanks

Schoon is not elite, he is a rookie 2nd round pick.
Not a single rookie can be considered elite at this point.

Yeah. In thought he was saying his athleticism/size was elite and wanted some reasons why he thought it.

I don’t know much about him, but I’m pretty sure Ferguson he is the same size.

Schoon just a few pounds heavier but not by much, maybe 5 lb difference, but same height at both being 6'5".
How interesting does this offensive look, targeting for Dak look if a healthy Schoon can book end Ferg in 2/TE sets?
Yes, it was a downer that Schoon had a delayed start, we all wanted more, I know I did.
I honestly did not believe he would be practicing already, that is called pain management.

 

[Hoofbite]

It would be nice but I doubt it. Kelce is on his way to the HOF. Odds alone will tell you that most players don't get there.

 

[shabazz]

Lefleur.... that's way back. Hope he's better than Escobar (RIP) as well. I think he will be a pretty decent to above average TE for us. He's just off to a slow start. Let's see what preseason games show us.

Haha…..I was just saying that tongue in cheek, ……..BTW, when did Pablo Escobar pass away?

Schoon is an elite athlete. That was proven with the combine testing.

Hater!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He passed in a rock climbing incident, bless his soul. Last year, I think.

 

[8FOR!3]

Don't buy it. With Dak's ability to get the ball to the TE and Schoon's speed and height combo, I think he can definitely make some big plays though. But the second he gets hit he seems to go down.

 

[BrassCowboy]

Yeah previous the draft I did not think we needed a TE and I still think fergy could be the man, but I do believe Schoon will be more than what everyone hoped for

 

[CowboyRoy]

He isn't a blocking TE. He is a pass catching and blocking TE. Something Schultz couldn't do.

Yes the best blocking player this year to improve the team was him and not a tackle according to the Cowboys.

"according to the cowboys"?

Thats laughable. So WHATEVER the Cowboys tell you is gospel? Whoever they pick was the correct choice?

I didnt take you for a blind homer?

Term "elite" gets tossed around too much.

 

[speedkilz88]

Not in this case. He literally tested at the extreme top of the past 25 years or so since testing has been done.

I agree. Rookies rarely are at the tight end position. Kelce is a good example because he wasn't elite as a rookie. Neither was Jason Witten, Antonio Gates or Tony Gonzales.

So your calling a rook elite even before he has taken a live snap in a game?

He did say elite athlete, not elite player.

I'm just repeating what they said. You are the one getting all twisted up over it.

Believe them or don't I don't really care. They are in the business of professional football. They have been pretty good at this draft thing lately.

The guy you wanted lasted until the last 5 picks of the 2nd round. That tells me many more teams felt about him than just the Cowboys.

hes just an example of a guy available. And no the cowboys have t been good enough to get the benefit of the doubt.

2nd round they continue to screw up.

And thats not saying i don't like schoon. I actually defended the pick somewhat. But after finding out hes 25 and missing out on all off season, i would use the pick differently

but my opinion may change quickly again if the kid looks good in preseason.
