Cowboys Snag Tight End Trigg, Boost Passing Game

On April 27, Dallas Cowboys made a sneaky move after the draft, scooping up undrafted

free agent Tideon Michael Trigg from Baylor.

This 6'4", 240-pound beast has elite measurables, arms in the 91st percentile, hands the same

and a wingspan that's 99th percentile among Tideon since 2011.

Last season, he hauled in 50 catches for 694 yards and 6 touchdowns.

But Trigg slipped through the draft for good reasons.

He's a weak run blocker, led all Tideons and drops, and his route running needs work.

Maturity issues off the field didn't help either.

With 22 Tideons getting picked ahead of him, even some with worst stats.

Fans and analysts are buzzing about this pickup, especially since the Cowboys Tideon room

looks rough outside of Jake Ferguson.

You've got Breven Span Ford, who's solid but only for blocking, Luke Schoonmaker

who's underperformed his draft spot and Princeton fan who might.

Nostick around.

If Trigg cleans up his game and stays focused, he could lock down that number 2 Tideon

role by mid-season, matching or beating with Schoonmakers.

Done lately?

His athleticism screams highlight real plays from Dak Prescott.

Cowboys stuck to their defensive draft plan, added a late-wide receiver in Lyman, kept

George Pickens and grabbed a starting linebacker, setting up.

A real NFC East push, after last year's 7 wins and leaky defense, pairing Trigg with

Ferguson could make their passing game pop this fall.
