Hopefully both Njoku and DeValve improve to make taking a TE superfluous.   If you need a blocking TE....I suspect a decent one can be had in free agency.

But I don't know....the Browns may still like Telfer.   He is their candidate for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award...and that actually means a lot to NFL teams I think.

ERRR, actually, I guess they just did that with the signing of Escobar.  Browns may be done at the TE spot.

I think Telfer might be done.  But Njuko and Devalve are up and coming.  2nd year for Njuko and 3rd year for Devalve.  I expect a lot from these guys.

I'd say in the 4th round, look for a TE.  We have far too many needs to pick a TE any sooner.

Njoku is going to be outstanding, but what if he gets injured down the line? Maybe find this guy

in the second or third round? With 3 picks in the second round, would a top TE fit be a good idea?

News flash he played behind Jason Whitten who may have been to a few pro bowls

News flash... Escobar wasn't even 2nd string.

I think they need a primarily blocking TE before they need another pass catching TE. One that does both well is ideal of course, but how many times do those come around? 

Agree they need a better blocking TE.  We are set in the TE receiving dept.

Not sure that's on our TEs.

Per wiki he was drafted by the 'Boys because they were disappointed with Martellus Bennett among other TEs. Turned out he could not win playing time over even lesser TEs. Most of his appearances were on STs.

Not feelin' this one... but hey... "Football guy".

Maybe a veteran to be used on STs.....something we were missing this past season.  If he can play STs...and he is like on the bottom 3 of the roster...he could still help there.

Very likely a camp body. Will be surprised if he makes it through training camp. Njoku/Devalve/Telfer are very likely safe.

I would like to see a late rounder or a UDFA with some blocking skills brought in to compete for a spot.

He did not just play on the PS. He has been in almost every Dallas game from 2013-2016. Actually has 8 TDs which is more than we can say for all for our TEs the last two seasons isn't  it?

Or late bloomers.

Second round pick who could only get on a Practice Squad in 5 years since being drafted?    What's wrong with him?

If he has been around that long and played that much I would not think he would be PS eligible.

He signed onto the reserves/futures list. Not the same as PS.

Dorsey just signed TE Gavin Escobar from the Cowboys.

FWIW, he was a 2nd rd pick in 2013

Tour called it. PS player with a chance to get on the roster

I liked him during the draft... he hasnt done much yet in the NFL. Maybe he's a "late bloomer".

Telfer is our dual TE at present, but Njoku is expected to develop blocking skill. Devalve? Not so much, but that's fine...

Hard for me to see adding even a Day Three prospect this Draft. An UDFA for the PS? Absolutely...

@texasag1969 said:

Oh that guy from Ark. would have done nicely. Another Henry twin I wanted here.

I think Telfer was supposed to be that guy. Not sure he had a great season though. Actually, none of the TEs received great PFF grades for the year, but they're all young and hopefully can improve. I for one think the ceiling is highest for Njoku, but that's not exactly an outside the box thought.

Nonetheless l would put a mauling TE as something to address in the draft and l think those can be had in later rounds.
