They needed one and drafted him in the first.

We have e a TE. Two top WR and a pretty good 3rd WR. A TE would marginally make us better offensively...and what I am hearing is people are enamored with his speed. Pittsburgh was fast...few others in the past similarly fast. But most great TEs aren't necessarily fast, just good at blocking and getting open.

I pass on him even at 20.
 
Hopefully, he goes before pick 20 to drop another player to the Cowboys. Come to think of it, hopefully the Cowboys trade back and get Jacob Rodriguez. They better get 3 good defensive players from somewhere in this draft. Heck they need more players than they get. Injuries are going to kill them in the long run. They are going to be short of players.

Cowboys don't have that explosive TE, one who can threaten the seem, make big plays after the catch. Ferguson is a solid all around TE, but he has athletic limitations. Kenyon Sadiq ran an insane 4.39 at the combine and was a highly production TE with Oregon's explosive offense. Adding him with our two receivers who be downright scary.

Certainly would be a BPA selection and would have to be a blinking light selection. If they did draft an offensive player, Sadiq would be near top of the list. Not saying to draft him, but if they get into a wipe out situation at 20, he would be the best player available.

TE costs much less in free agency than pass rusher, CB, etc..

How many Uber fast but height limited TEs have ever added enough value to their team to have been worth #12 overall?

He would be more of a bpa at 20. I agree on the lack of premium position but if they are wiped out, don’t just reach to fill a need. He does offer explosive play to the position which we are lacking

He looks like Vernon Davis who went 6th overall.

I have nothing against the player nor adding better weapons in general, but how many TE's really transform their team? I mean almost yearly we have the most physically gifted TE ever tested, WR in a TE body, etc..

Even then, only a small % actually become really good players and fewer still have truly impacted the outcome of the organization.

TE seems to be one of the positions that "just good enough" is good enough. If you have everything else, sure, swing for the fences. But that isn't us.

Plenty since it's 2026 and not the 90s. Elite TEs at this point can be as essential as top WRs.

Who amongst these physical freaks has become the best TE in the league?

My point wasn't that a TE can't be important but that every year there are these "dynamic", "game changing" prospects that don't turn out that way.

Kelce has been the most essential to an offense in the last 6 years or so and he wasn't the physical freak these other guys are. I can't think of any other TE during that span that I would label as essential as a top WR. Kittle isn't that game in, game out factor that Kelce was.

Of the final 4 teams last year, none featured a TE. They all use groups of TE's to compliment the rest of their offense not be a cornerstone.

I like him but dont think he is as good as the 2 TEs last year.

I would probably still lean defense at 20.

Yea the problem with Sadiq is that he's not...good. Purely a project player.

In a draft class with a bunch of TEs who could be productive, it doesn't make much sense to take him early.

I think calling him a project is a huge stretch I just dont think he is as good as Loveland / Warrren as a prospect.

He is still probably one if the best 20/25 prospects in this class.

Idk, he's a terrific athlete but between the drop issue and lack of refinement as a blocker I think he's got a long way to go to reach any type of ceiling. I don't really care about his YAC stuff b/c it doesn't really translate well.

I don't really know why a team would take him before, say, Eli Stowers, has more production, is a little bigger, and tested just as well.

Agree, but was Vernon Davis worth the 6th overall pick?

I think he was. 15 years ago, TE's weren't running 4.3 40's with his size in that era he was the ultimate mismatch. Sadiq is fast but he hasn't produced at a high level yet. I think it will take a year or two before he actually produces in the NFL. Davis was a unicorn. Sadiq is cool, but there will be more and more like him in the coming years. Times have changed.

...every year there is a physical freak that lives up to the hype. It goes both ways.

can you name the physical freak TE's that were taken in the first round in the last 10 years that have been a cornerstone of their offense?

I respect your opinion .... I just can't think of any. Or we are using different definitions.
