Any have an opinions on him? I want us to get another TE to take some load off Kittle and for 2 TE sets. It needs to be a later round guy so that leaves out Trautman who I liked.
Dalton is 6-foot-4 inches and 251 pounds. He had a good combine and has played multiple positions, inline TE, slot, H-Back, FB and even RB.
He seems to have the Kittle attitude pancaking people, stiff arming, and breaking tackles. Of course, not the same talent. 5th rounder maybe?
40-Yard Dash 4.71 seconds
Bench Press 21 reps (225 lbs.)
Vertical Jump 34.0 inches
Broad Jump 125.0 inches
3-Cone Drill 7.07 seconds
20-Yard Shuttle 4.19 seconds

Good late round h-back. Tough, big, and strong. Has the kittle tenacity, but not the freakish athleticism. Decent pass catching option, but should develop into a strong blocker

Is there any reason people don't want to see more of Ross Dwelley, not that he is irreplaceable or the next Brent Jones, but I can live if we don't draft a TE.

I really like Dwelly since we got him. He did well filling in earlier in the year. Then he didn't get to play much. It's the 3rd TE Toilolo I want to replace with a younger blocker and potential weapon.

Got it. Definitely a position to be filled with Toilolo gone now.

Another guy that I feel good about. He's an able and willing blocker, like Deguara, nothing that really jumps out at you, just an ultra competitive dude whose talents will allow for him to have a long NFL career, contributing as a blocker, receiver and on special teams.
