2. Jelani Woods, Virginia

Height: 6’7″ Weight: 275lbs

Career Stats: 75 receptions, 959 receiving yards, 12.8 yards per reception, 12 touchdowns

If you’re looking for the biggest target on the field in this draft then Jelani Woods could be your guy. Woods measures in at 6-7 Woods and is a gifted athlete with the speed, nice route running, and catch radius you want in a tight end.

He’s another very capable run blocker who isn’t afraid to mix it up with defenders to move them off their spots. Woods is another tight end that the Cowboys have taken a look at on their many visits around the country, so we know he’s on their radar.

Woods would be a nice red-zone weapon for a Dallas offense that has had its issues putting points on the board inside the 20-yard line. He would be a solid middle-round selection.
