Rico Gathers TE Baylor

[jnday]

tough crowd

There are plenty of reasons for it.

 

[Bocephus]

Sports science made him look very intriguing, great size and jumping ability with nice hands. If his talent can translate to the NFL he could be a steal. He can even throw a 40 yard pass to himself.

6th round.

Again, not knocking it.

 

[AmericanCowboy]

This is a great pick. I dont care what the analysts say. Boom or bust is about all you can ask for in the 6th round and thats what we got.

The RB pick I dont understand. But Gathers is a great pick.

 

[zrinkill]

Uncle Rico!

He can throw the ball over that mountain

 

[Bleu Star]

He will at least make the practice squad. It's going to be fun watching this freak of nature develop.

 

[CATCH17]

they absolutely didn't draft him to block. He will attack seam. Very athletic.

He's such an athlete though that if he can't play TE then maybe he could play O or D line.

6'7 290 with no body fat. Crazy athlete.

 

[ilykdrama]

I'll take him studying behind Witten, saying it's been his dream to play football all along and doing all the work that he needs to do to have 24 teams come to look at him. That and him being an athletic freak.

 

[EMMITTnROY]

I love this pick. Why not?

Dude is 6'8, 290 and runs a 4.65. He's an athletic freak. And he was a huge rebounder so he must have decent hands. He'd be an unstoppable red zone target. Totally worth a shot.

 

[reddyuta]

IF he can turn into another Gates then its a great pick,this is our last pick and worth a shot,

 

[Sandyf]

All of the nay sayers are saying the same thing the Charger fans said when Antonio Gates was drafted. Heck even the San Diego Union thought he would get cut in training camp. Will just have to wait and see what happens in training camp. If he pans out half as good as Gates, then we have a nice backup for 10 years.

 

[Gameover]

CBS gives us an F for the pick lol

Prisco?

 

[Risen Star]

Let Geoff Swaim take him under his wing and teach him how to be a professional.

 

[Fritsch_the_cat]

I'm excited to see what they can do with this guy, 6'8 275 doesnt grow on trees

Agreed, it was a *** pick for me at first but sounds like a solid project. Seems more of a UDFA type but what the hell.

 

[Cowboy06]

CBS gives us an F for the pick lol

CBS is stupid, that is what they gave up NFL football and ended up with the sorry AFC when someone told them they were losing money.. LOL

 

[Gameover]

Someone brought up how innovative the Cowboys were in under past regimes, well you can't knock this pick, the Cowboys once upon a time drafted CARL LEWIS and PAT RILEY.

And spare me they had the luxury crap.

 

[Cowboy06]

Let Geoff Swaim take him under his wing and teach him how to be a professional.

sarcasm? If so, I endorse your message 100%

 

[Stash]

I wonder how this pick will impact the TE group on the roster?

 

[LatinMind]

Hasnt played football since middle school. Supposedly coaches fell in love. Hoping for Antonio Gates, I just hope he can block.

Actually i can this being more of a jason peters type project. too big for TE

 

[J_Allen]

I'm glad we no longer take backup tight ends in the second round.
