Sturm: This is the year to need a TE

[Hawkeye0202]

 

[KingintheNorth]

Agreed.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Not a fan of Kaden Smith in terms of bringing something new to our current crop.

Nor am I. He is probably my least favorite of the ones likely to make it to 58.

Hockenson, Fant and Smith won't make it.

Then you have a cluster of guys like Nauta, Sternberger, Smith, Dax Raymond, Dawson Knox, Caleb Wilson, Alize Mack etc.

A player that is supposed to be on the rise is Kahale Warring.

Josh Oliver is a late riser for me. Can’t wait to see how he tests out. I could see him flying up boards.

I'm just not sold on the investment of any of these other guys.

It's early days but I feel like they are all dime a dozen types and that is what is already on the roster.

I want a difference maker at the position and I don't know if any of them are any better then JArwin.

It is just that kind of thinking that may have that position continue to be a pain point next season.

Plain and simple, those that are thought of as being "difference makers" will be long gone and if we sit there and claim all others available aren't better than what we have, then we really may be very lazy at scouting. I don't see how everyone beyond the top two-three players at the position are inferior to Blake Jarwin.

Hey if one of them are better then i'm all for it but if they are just jags then find me a bridge player like Tyler Eifert until we can draft a guy with real quality.

I don't want to add another Schultz or Jarwin to the mix.

Maybe Sternberger is that guy but nothing jumps out to me about these players. I don't even think Smith Jr is anything special.

I like the 2 Iowa players and then it get Jaggy IMO. I may change my mind.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Josh Oliver is a late riser for me. Can’t wait to see how he tests out. I could see him flying up boards.

I don’t think he’s going to blow them up, but he’s a coordinated athlete that moves well. I still see him as a 3rd day pick, but I like him a lot.

 

[Hardline]

Once Hockenson,Fant and Smith are off the board I can't see TE being a priority over a DT or S.
But if I had to choose the best of the rest give me Sternberger

 

[cnuball21]

I don’t think he’ll test elite, but I think he’ll test as an above average athlete for the position and showcase some smooth route running with natural hands.

 

[Questfor6]

He reminds me of Witten when he runs after the catch.

 

[Melonfeud]

Meh,it's obvious kellen likes the guys he's got, who are already well versed&accustomed to his implemented offensive scheme

Nauta is not a middling player, he would probably be the best all-around tight end the moment he steps on the field for Dallas.

Sternberger has some Travis Kelce to his game, though not quite the blocker.

None of Gronk, Kelce, Kittle and Ertz were drafted in the first. Don’t dismiss them because they aren’t going in round one.

Don't forget Pope Jason Witten I was a 3rd round pick.

Now the 31 other teams ended up sending a letter asking for forgiveness for the snub but still.

I think we could replace Blake Jarwin with a 5th round pick in this draft.

 

[dallas72]

Georgia TE Nauta looks really good & run blocks

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Precisely why I’d like to try something different at the position, lol.

For the record, Strum did say if he were the Cowboys, he'd take Sternberger at 58 and not look back.

I think times have changed since then.

Teams are putting more value into the position and your seeing dudes go earlier than when they used to.

I'm not.

I just don't see anything standout about the TE's other then the Iowa guys.

I don't even think Irv smith is anything special.

Solid group.. Deepest position in the draft most likely. But difference makers? As of now I just don't see it.
