3. Greg Dulcich, Tight End

Height: 6’3  Weight: 245lbs

Draft Projection: Day 2

Career Stats: 77 receptions, 1,353 receiving yards, 11 touchdowns

In a field crowded with some very good tight-end talent, Greg Dulcich is a wide receiver turned tight end that some teams may overlook. Hopefully, the Cowboys aren’t one of those teams. Dulcich is a player that would give offenses another moving piece that can work off the line, in the slot, and sometimes on the outside depending on the matchup.

His quick release off the line gets linebackers and safeties on their heels a lot sooner than they’d like, and his size gives him the ability to out-jump them and make plays on the football.

His background as a receiver definitely comes in handy as he’s able to find soft spots on the defense and use his speed to make big plays. He will need to work on his blocking at the line but he’s another prospect whose stock could rise after an impressive showing at the Senior Bowl.

With Dalton Schultz likely leaving the Cowboys in free agency (his price tag may be a bit too high for the front office), Dallas needs another backup for Blake Jarwin.
