Meet Jason Witten's Replacement

[Cowpolk]

Dallas will draft Dallas

 

[DCowboyz]

Give me Chris Herndon! Why does no one believe the UM hype?? He will be there in the 4th round.

 

[Angus12]

Watched the video, good hands, looks like decent speed. The comp he played against i'm guessing wasn't that good.

It's the same competition that Carson Wentz played against. He seems to be doing ok.

Everybody likes Goedert better, which is why he'll definitely go tonight and Fumagalli may last until tomorrow.

But it comes down to value and choices. You only get to take one player at a time.

I dont see much of difference between Blake Jarwin and Fumagalli. If Dallas is serious about replacing Witten they go and get Goedert.

Jason running his last out route

Yet he still got open

 

[Cebrin]

Yet he still got open

He has the smoothest hip transitions of any TE I'v ever watched. I'm just teasing the big guy. He's one of 3 players whos jerseys I ever spent a dollar on.

I know. It's amazing how so many people make fun of how slow he was but he still made most LBs look like chumps in coverage.

Same person I had in mind. Fumagalli looked like he was running in place.

He's a shell of his prime, but a better blocker. We'll def feel the loss on runs to the right.

He is one of my all-time favorites.

Me too. No doubt about it.

 

[Rabbit]

I like Andrews by way of Oklahoma. He was Mayfields number 1 target

 

[casmith07]

Best hands at the position in this draft. He is a Jason Witten starter kit. He is a decent blocker and knows how to sit down in a zone. Not the best athlete or the fastest at the position, but I feel like we can get him in the 4th. He is a much better jumper than Witten.

Wrong. Rico Gathers is still on the team.

 

[jjktkk]

Rico Gathers, it's put up or shut up time.

Just keep Frazier away from him.

As someone who has watched every play that Fumagalli has every been a part of during his college career I can tell you to a certainty.........THE KID CAN PLAY!
6-6 250 " good size" with a big catch radius, fantastic hands, willing blocker. Not the fastest guy but just has a "FEEL" on when to sit down in coverage/ how to get open. Kid is gonna be a good one in the right system. Always finds a way to simply GET IT DONE.

If it were me I would grab him up with our second 4th rounder and never look back. Roll with Him, Rico, and Swaim as our T.E group this year.

Watched an interview of Jimmy Johnson the other day where he talked about his draft philosophy, he said the scouts were always trying to over emphasize size/speed attributes. Jimmy was like....."NO! 1st question...CAN HE PLAY? Can he play and what kind of head is on his shoulders. " I agree with Jimmy,... ALWAYS HAVE. The kid can play. Hopefully its for us.

 

[northerncowboynation]

Has he been drafted yet? Did he get past day 2 and make it to day 3? I'll take your word that he's "the guy".

 

[LittleD]

Ian Thomas from IU is still out there and definitely has some skills. I wouldn't mind a trade up for him very early today. The Jewels kid from Iowa is also lurking and
we could use another LB. Lots of gold still to be unearthed in this draft before the sun sets Saturday.

Yea, can he play and does his college play translate well to the NFL. Bellichik has said similar things. His thing is that these guys get in combine shape and go nuts getting ready for the combine then come to the NFL and aren't ready for the rigors of NFL training camp. I think we see that with all the hammie issues from our DB's last year. If this guy can block some and has some gidde up TE style to his game, go for it. Even a willing blocker can be coached. Thanks for the insight on this guy

 

[Hayseed]

Comes from a pro style offense ran by one of the premier offensive minds in the country. Your not getting a guy from a smoke and mirrors bush league offense that needs to be coached up. Your getting a guy thats fully cooked. THAT matters.

Yep. Troy was dinged at the end of last season,.... thus the reason he skipped the all star games and mostly skipped the combine. The kid is a keeper. 2nd pick........ 4th round.
