"Thieneman has the profile to justify it. He finished his college career with 306 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and eight interceptions across his time at Purdue and Oregon, and his range, tackling, and versatility are traits that translate cleanly at the next level."
"PFF has him 14th overall on its big board, and NFL.com notes that he led FBS tight ends with eight receiving touchdowns while setting an Oregon tight end record with 51 catches for 560 yards."
"This pick, thanks to the BPA rules, will come back to haunt Dallas when position of need would be a huge plus over the best player available in the first round."
Dallas's draft strategy of selecting the best player available could lead to unexpected choices. For instance, safety Thieneman, with impressive college stats, could be picked early despite safety not being a primary need. Tight end Kenyon Sadiq, ranked highly by Pro Football Focus, exemplifies the BPA approach, even though tight end is often seen as a luxury position. This strategy may lead to valuable selections, but could also create challenges when addressing specific team needs later in the draft.
