And there are options available later in the draft. The Cowboys have two very good tight ends on the roster already. So if the Cowboys are looking for a blocking tight end - which you can get in a later round - with the potential to become a threat in the passing game, you're looking at Washington.īut, do you spend a first-round pick on a blocker? Why It Makes No Sense (3) pursues in the first half of an NCAA college football game Saturday, Nov. Utah tight end Dalton Kincaid, left, runs after catching a pass as Colorado safety Jeremy Mack Jr.
As a receiver, he checks off all the boxes.īut his Achilles Heel is his blocking, especially in the run game. If the goal is to give Prescott another target - and Mayer is gone - Kincaid would be the logical next pick. He could slip back to the Cowboys depending on how other teams draft. He's been nicknamed “Baby Gronk” and is projected to go mid-first round. Mayer is the top-ranked player at the position coming into the draft. They'd be tempted to give Dak Prescott another target to throw to. Shore up their offensive or defensive lines, or take a tight end. If the skill players at running back and receiver fly off the board early - an unlikely scenario - Dallas would have a tough call to make. Is there a good reason why one of the three listed above should be on the Cowboys' card? How It Could Happen This is the Jones family we're talking about.īut let's take a look at the pros and cons of spending the 26th pick on Thursday evening on a tight end. But also don't expect me to be shocked if they somehow go ahead and do so. Put me in the camp that thinks there is no way the Cowboys take a tight end this early. If Dallas was concerned about the players they have on the roster - Jake Ferguson and Peyton Hendershot - at the position, they wouldn't have let Dalton Schultz go.Įspecially when they could have re-signed him rather cheaply after his free agency market fizzled. The top targets of interest at the position are Michael Mayer, Darnell Washington, and Dalton Kincaid.īut does spending a first-round pick - and the money that goes with it - on a tight end make sense?ĭo the Cowboys even need to worry about the position to begin with? Frankly, no. As the draft nears a small wave of support for the Cowboys taking a tight end in the first round has grown.
