Round 3: Josh Oliver, TE, San Jose State

My pet project at tight end is T.J. Hockenson from Iowa, but with the emergence of Dalton Schultz and Blake Jarwin down the stretch, the Cowboys ignore the position in Round 2 — in favor of safety — which means Hockenson is gone by now.

Still needing depth at the position, they land Josh Oliver out of San Jose State. He has a lot of talent as a blocker but is unrefined. Where he shines is as a receiver, which he proved with his 56 receptions, 709-yard season. He may be another project who needs a couple of seasons to reach his potential, but he will be able to still contribute as a rookie.

Round 4: Daniel Wise, DT, Kansas

It’s becoming painfully obvious that David Irving isn’t a player who can be counted on long-term. After avoiding a long-term deal with Irving, they then had to deal with a suspension that followed. Irving is still struggling to get on the field and has just four tackles and one sack in two games.

Here, Dallas turns the page and adds a player who can potentially fill the three-technique spot in Daniel Wise. He joins former teammate Dorrance Armstrong as a mid-round pick for Dallas and could end up being a steal for them as he gets lost in a strong defensive line class.

In four seasons, Wise has 152 tackles and 17 sacks. He could give Dallas a push up the middle, making a strong defense even better.
