DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - There's been a lot of talk on 105.3 The Fan about what Florida tight end Kyle Pitts would bring to the already-explosive Cowboys offense should he fall to them at pick No. 10.
After his dominant pro day, many draft experts don't see any possibility of him falling to the Cowboys pick, but don't count out Cowboys owner Jerry Jones making a move to get a player he's very intrigued by.
“We’re hearing this thing about Jerry Jones, the owner of the Cowboys and the GM, being infatuated with Kyle Pitts,” Chris Mortensen said this week on ESPN’s draft special. “So I figure he’s gonna have to trade up to get Kyle Pitts. I think he’ll offer Emmitt Smith and Larry Allen, maybe throw in Michael Irvin. He doesn’t need Tony Romo but he has Dak Prescott, he spent $40 million a year on Dak Prescott so why not go get Kyle Pitts, or if he actually falls to 10 you couldn’t rule him out.”
Pitts is widely seen as the second-best talent in this year's draft behind Clemson quarterback and de facto No. 1 pick, Trevor Lawrence.
Pitts, who's all of 6'5" and 245 pounds, is one of the most hyped tight end prospects of a generation. NFL insider Michael Lombardi told 105.3 The Fan last week that if he were still on the board when Dallas makes their selection, they should "sprint" to make the pick.
However, is taking a tight end a wise decision with all of the other holes the Cowboys need to fill on the roster? It's a great topic of discussion, and one we'll continue to have on our airwaves all the way up until April 29.
