This point has not been made enough of by the Dallas media. History suggests the front office like players to develop. I think they pass on TE tonight even if there are options there at #26
I'd argue the opposite.
Dallas hasn't been very secretive over the years.
They let a franchise tagged TE walk, they very likely have that in play.
Especially with 5 TEs in the 30 visits.
I don't think an R4 and an UDFA that combined for 277 yards receiving total avert that gaze by any means.
And again, I think people forget Fergusion had concussion issues last year.
But they may not feel R1 is TE-land and wait 'til R2 or R3. I could see that option. ((I don't personally think any regular position should be excluded entirely from R1 but S, TE, RB all have negative scores that reduce the players to at least mid R1)).
Last year Dallas released La'el Collins, let an LG walk then drafted an OT R1.
This year they let another LG walk and agreed to a pay cut with the LT.
Likely in play for OL again.
They released a pricey vet RB.
They likely need a RB of some sort but they have had luck with Pollard, Barber, Choice without drafting R1 guys.
At DT they were signing guys off the street and giving them significant snaps much of the year.
Likely in play at some point.
They resigned their safety.
They traded for another team's WR1. --reportedly they did not like this WR class much at all.
They traded for a plus starting CB.
But nonetheless we will see how R1 goes in hours now.
