Reminds me of R. Bush. Probably never going to be a dominant rusher, but should contribute all over the field and dynamic when he gets the ball in space.

I think his heavy college workload is a negative.
RBs have a certain amount of tread on the tires and most consider college use part of it.

Love the layer though.

I'm guessing some people won't like him just because he's a "Christian". Just sayin'.....

Not for the Cowboys to draft, but in general.

I think he would be an amazing slot receiver.

He's going to be fun to watch. He, and Cooper Kupp.

I keep wanting to find ways they could realistically end up on the team, but it's tough to do.

Another Escobar, no. But a blocking TE is pretty important.

We laugh about Swaim, but after he went down, the running game lost a little with Looney trying to supplement in the jumbo packages. This is a really good draft for TEs, we would be smart to take one because 2018 does not look nearly as strong.

Agreed, but I don't think we will bite until the second day unless a prospect is too god to pass up. I don't think any of the top three will be there in round two unless they get a DUI or steal some pills from Walgreens.

This is a stacked class of TEs but it is not a good class for blocking TEs. So if that's what we're looking for the pickings are slim.

What's it going to be then, eh?

As they are usually and will continue to be the way the position is treated at the college level. Kittle is about the best.

He's not a 1st round worthy player for the majority of NFL teams.

Personally I view him as a complimentary player and wouldn't draft him on an average NFL team until the 3rd round.

As a receiver out of the backfield, he is lethal. But he's not going to be your lead guy.

Like an enhanced Lance Dunbar.

I think McCaffery is going to be Danny Woodhead JR. Nice player for certain spots but non factor for the most part.

Dallas should stay away from TEs until 2019. Dallas has Witten for atleast this yr and next. That gives them time to see what they have in Swaim and Gathers. Dallas knows what it has in Hanna.

If I'm a team targeting a RB in round 1, I'll gladly take Cook sliding down to me because McCaffrey is a media darling.

He is going to be a stud in my opinion. He looked great at the combine. His college tape is ridiculous, and the only reason he didn't win the Heisman is Bama was handing it to Henry 40+ times a game.

Was Bush the 2nd pick in the draft? McCaffrey does have that top of the draft talent. He would be an awesome choice at 28.

I love McCaffrey but why would you draft a RB/WR hybrid with the first round pick when you have Zeke, Dez and Beasley? He's not a potential No. 1 receiver down the road and Zeke isn't going anywhere for a while so the value isn't there for us. It would be for someone else.

Zeke could be gone in one play at any time.
