TE Jake Ferguson balled out so why draft a 2nd rd TE?

[quickccc]

TE Jake Ferguson balled out vs Eagles !!

After tonight vs Eagles, there is no question TE Jake Ferguson has clearly replaced departed Dalton Schultz as
a go to lead TE; 7 catches for 91 yards - including a 40 yard catch and run.

Even last year, Fergy was already showing signs that he could potentially replace Schultz as a starting lead TE.
And now Dak totally believes and trusts him as such.

Fergy is showing a knack for pass game, a feel for zone coverages, ability to hit the middle seam, and occasionally beat certain
coverages.

.So this although more still puzzles me as why we draft a blocking TE in the 2nd round in Luke Schoonmaker ?
What was it about Ferguson's game that they felt so uncomfortable to be forced to draft a TE ?
And yes, if Lions TE Sam Importa were available, all reports we were poised to select him ahead of Schoon.

 

[HungryLion]

The FO was DEAD SET on taking a TE early in the draft.

Nothing was going to stop them.

Just like they were dead set on taking cb’s early a few years ago, and in come Kelvin drive by Joseph and Nahshon Wright.

ferg is a BEAST

When a stud guard would have been the answer.

 

[Doomsday]

Not even sure Schoon would be on the field if Hendershot didn't get injured. The pick was a headscratcher.

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

We always waste our 2nd round picks. I wish we would trade them for proven players instead.

 

[Adiba1977]

Does it matter. Would have drafted another bum.

 

[CATCH17]

I didn’t get the Michael Mayer hype when we basically already had Michael Mayer on the team.


Schoonmaker was a waste though.


Not that I don’t like Schoonmaker but a 2nd round pick? Come on.

He’s 25 years old and he goes down so easy.

 

[Haimerej]

Watch him on the 4th and 8. He won right at the snap and got wide open. Seemed like Dak didn't even see him.

 

[Tabascocat]

Just wait until they take another TE early next draft

 

[CoachD]

Because the Cowboys wanna go down in history drafting underachieving tight ends in the second round....

Fassano
Bennett
Escobar
Schoonmaker TBD

 

[Shane612]

4th and 8 in the 4th qtr, Ferguson is wide open down the middle. Dak throws it to a well covered #18, incomplete.

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

We could have traded it for Henry or Adams

 

[stilltheguru]

4th and 8 in the 4th qtr, Ferguson is wide open down the middle. Dak throws it to a well covered #18, incomplete.

So he could drop another pass? Relax on the hype

 

[Whyjerry]

I like TEs that know where the endzone is. Not the 250 pound guys that can’t push for an extra foot.

 

[Zekeats]

Cause fat mike wanted a 2nd round tight end to throw to one yard short of the end zone on 4th and goal from the 2

there was no guarantee he would take the starting job. its smart to bring in competition. he needs to get better as a run blocker and stop dropping passes. that drop could've changed the game if he caught it. he's the no. 2 receiver now for better or worse. I hope he builds off today.

 

[Shane612]

So, you pass up an open receiver and throw it to a covered receiver?

 

[WillieBeamen]

At this point, Jake Ferguson has proven to be a TE1. Yes i would want a TE that can stretch the seams, but I think you have your starter for at least the next few years which leads to my next point.

Drafting a backup TE in the second round when we needed OL help.

O’Cyrus Torrence and the Eagles starting RG today was taken after Schoon

 

[NFCBeasts]

Love me some Ferg
