Not a great draft for TE's. Besides, we've got the next great TE already. .........or so he claims.

Gottalove when a player controls the front office. Just another example of the inmates running the asylum

I agree with the overall Crux of the initial post.
That being said I do want to see what hey have in Rico and Blake Jarwin before investing in any more tight ends.

If Jason does not leave the field, then there is not a reason to draft a TE. A contract is good for three years and I just can't see a player sitting until Jason retires. Then What? Jason retires and Dallas has an unproven backup.
Besides, I thought Rico was the replacement?
Dallas should focus on players that will start.

For the love of everything holy, get rid of him.

Wow.
That is just amazing.
A player basically calls the shots.
Maybe Bennett was right in a primitive way.

Good grief , every Cowboys fan loves Witten ; no one is wishing for his demise and/or departure , but the stats and eye test simply do not lie........
On 3rd and 7 you can pretty much close your eyes and know he's going to come up a yard or 2 short of the sticks EVERY FRIGGIN' TIME.........That almost never happened his 1st decade in the league..............................

I would get rid of the weak decision makers that allow a player to dictate how things go. Even players like Montana, Emmitt Smith did not.

The Cowboys do not know how to evaluate their own talent. It's pretty clear that Witten is past his prime but the Cowboys will move on from him two years too late instead of two years early.

Don't laugh. Sounds like if he told them to drop to their knees and indulge his wish at the moment, they would.

I don't know about that. From the sounds of things, Stephen Jones would not do that.
If he knows what is good for him.

Witten is the man. I hope he coaches here after he retires and never leaves the Cowboys. I have no problem with him calling the shots. At least he's a football guy which is better than the non-football guys that have been allowed to call the shots.

I believe in the power of prayer Alexander.
Only Jerry knows what is good for him.

I’m not sure why folks think we need to waste a draft pick on a TE.. I personally believe we have one of the best group of TE’s in the league, albeit we prob won’t use them.
‘Gold jacket’ Witten- yet long in the tooth, still manages clutch catches and blocks better than most other TEs in the league which means a lot to a ‘run first’ offense
Hanna- is very underrated.. soft hands, blocks, adequate speed. If Witten wasn’t in his way, he’d prob be considered one of the leaders on offense
Swaim- much like Hanna, yet stuck behind both of them. Prob could improve his blocking, but it’s really hard to tell since he dosent get much playing time. Although, the limited time he has played, he hasn’t disappointed. More ‘real’ reps would help
Gathers- for a Big man..he looked really good last year during camp before he got his bell rung, albeit as a receiver only. He looked lost as a blocker, but that was to be expected. If Dallas would play him to his strengths.. he really could put some stats up. He’s still very young and raw with plenty of potential
Jarwin- honestly I don’t know much ab him, but he made enough of an impression to get Witten to even say good things about him. I’ve heard he was mainly a blocker in college, so that’s a great start. I’ve also read that he catches the ball well, but needs to work on his recognition. Sounds like a promising project.
That’s five TEs already on the roster that has more if not as much potential as any draft pick in this draft.
