When the Cowboys drafted Dalton Schultz, he originally was their best blocking tight end. After the loss of Blake Jarwin due to injury, Schultz inherited the TE1 role and ran with it, however he is not without his faults. The blocking tight end proved to be a reliable pass catcher, but his blocking suffered.

Nor did they attempt to fix the depth in the first or second days of the draft. Does that mean they didn’t help their offense at this position? Fans should look no further than Wisconsin native and now former Badger Jake Ferguson who fits exactly what Dallas wants from that position. Here’s a few things to know about Jake Ferguson.
