Dante Daniels

Who?

[Sir Blue and Gold]

We traded a second round pick next year for a blocking tight end. Interesting.

[Big Daddy]

I missed it flipping channels - what did we give up to move to 10th?

[The Zipp]

hmmmmmm

tight end - big dude

[The Zipp]

6th oline ?

I don't get this one.

[The Zipp]

panel seems settled he is going to play extra oline

270 pounds

[Pete]

why did we have to trade? did we have some inside scoop that argos or edm wanted him? So far this draft from a bomber aspect is not inspiring
 40 time      5.02
  bench reps 7

[Blue In BC]

Dante Daniels

Who?

Exactly. What the heck? He wasn't even listed in the top 20 earlier and we traded up to get him? It didn't cost us much but it seems odd.

[Throw Long Bannatyne]

hmmmmmm

tight end - big dude

According to 3DN this is a reach, they rated him 89th overall and figured he would be available for 2 more rounds, big guy that only put up 7 reps on the bench and runs a 5.6/40.

I don't see why we had to trade up for this dude. I sort of get the idea of a TE who functions as the 6th olineman but can snag some passes too, I think.

cost enough.  2nd rounder next year

6'6, 270... he can go up for Oline, or down for TE, or be the 6th man if Eli wins at C...

I'm not over the moon with this, and unless this was a "must have" and they knew someone ahead of them also was looking, I'm not sure he's gone before 13th.  A second rounder is not a lot to give up, really.  Hopefully its the free pick for most nat snaps.  Or the last pick because we were 1st...
