Now with the big news, when would you want a tight end and who? I'm looking at troy fumagalli if he's there in the 4th.
 
I like Ian Thomas, may have to reach for one a bit early than they might be valued to ensure they get their guy.

Would of been nice if this info stayed under wraps for 1 more day.
 
Mike Gesicki. If they draft TEs.


He's an over-sized WR.

Not really what Dallas has gone for at TE in the past, they have always valued blockers.

If Jason Witten hands in his jersey, we still have Geoff Swaim, Rico gathers and Blake Jarwin, who all have fans in the building.

If a great value shows up, go for it, but I'm fine adding a handful of undrafted free agents to the current group and seeing how it shakes out.

The Cowboys can look at current free agents and also have an eye on roster cuts during training camp.
 
I would prefer tight end that can block or catch so we won't telegraph the play to the defense.

He's absolutely an over-sized receiver, and the best receiver in the entire draft class. Play him where you want and keep the guys on you list above. He's the epitome of "Dak friendly".

We need some adept pass catchers so if he can run seams and get open bring him in. If he has some speed, all the better.
Linehan is probably devising a new type offense that is Dak friendly. Try Jailbreak passing game.

He's the best route running TE in the draft and had the fastest 40 time 4.54 of his position group at 6-5 250. He's a very complex player in his route running and changes his gait along with head fakes to gain separation. He was one of my favorite players to watch in 2017. I'm not a Penn State fan, but watched every game I could because of Barkley and Gesicki. Just two really fun football players to watch.

Would this coaching staff play him?

They couldn't find a role for Gavin Escobar's receiving skills, and he was a 2nd round pick, because his blocking never developed. James Hanna became a blocker and had a role despite the fact he averaged a TD about as often as a complete solar eclipse.

Mike Gesicki might flourish as a mismatch TE you move around the formation, he's not an on the line Y.

Thomas in the 3rd would be okay. Might end of being the most complete TE in the draft.

If Witten retires, I think Swaim will see the bulk of the reps, but whoever they draft would find a role.
